Summary/Abstract: The author outlines two stages of analysis of relations between the USSR and the GDR in the Soviet periodical press; the first stage (the 1950s – the 1960s) was characterized by the positioning of the USSR’s supremacy in all spheres of life in the GDR; during the second stage (the 1970s – the late 1980s) the cooperation between the sides had been emphasized. The article characterizes the difference between the ideological image of the GDR in the Soviet press and the perception of the GDR in the historical and daily consciousness of the USSR’s citizens, the existence of an inconsistent combination of distancing and aspiration for friendship with the population of the GDR in political journalism.
