Summary/Abstract: The article describes one of the sides of the new «ideological intelli-gentsia» — the functioning of women’s German social organizations in SOZ. It is stated that the special direction of these organizations’ activity was taken by the policy of SMAG and it strengthened its activity on the post-fascist territory of Eastern Germany. The author makes the conclusion that the po-litical control over all the activity spheres of society resulted in the appear-ance of the «puppet» women’s social organizations that became one of the strong components of the German «ideological intelligentsia» in SOZ.
