During the Cold War, international associations of resistance veterans were important transnational actors. Split along the political fault lines, an ‘antifascist’ stance was crucial to them, both in their memories of resistance against Nazi Germany and in their involvement in the propaganda campaigns of the Cold War. Due to its manifold activities, the pro-communist Fédération Internationale des Résistants (FIR) was the most important of these international associations. Liberal and anti-communist organizations, like the Fédération Internationale Libre des Déportés et Internés de la Résistance (FILDIR), formed the counterpart to the FIR. These organizations will serve as a point of comparison. This study transcends the prevailing national perspective, instead investigating the transnational memory of the survivors. It goes on to examine the consequences of the political changes in the USSR after Stalin’s death in March 1953, and Khrushchev’s ‘secret speech’ as well as the Hungarian Uprising and its suppression in 1956

Preface
The Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces (INF) Treaty, signed on December 8, 1987 
in Washington by U. S. President Ronald Reagan and CPSU General Secretary 
Mikhail Gorbachev, was a milestone in nuclear disarmament and a decisive 
step towards ending the Cold War. To mark the thirtieth anniversary of this 
monumental event, the Berlin Center of Cold War Studies, the Leibniz Institute 
for Contemporary History, and the Department of History of the University of 
Mannheim got together to hold a conference at the European Academy in Berlin. 
This took place between November 30 and December 2, 2017, under the title, 
“The INF Treaty of 1987: A Reappraisal.” The present volume contains the revised 
proceedings.
It was a memorable conference. The organizers were the three editors of this 
book along with Bernd Greiner. Many others contributed to the conference’s 
success. First, we would like to thank the German Foundation for Peace Research, 
the Chancellor Willy Brandt Foundation, and the Humboldt University Berlin for 
the generous financial support that made the conference possible. Secondly, we 
would like to thank those who chaired the various panels: Dr. Bernd Rother, Dr. 
Arvid Schors, Prof. Dr. Hélène Miard-Delacroix, and Dr. Agnes Bresselau von 
Bressensdorf. We are also very much indebted to Dr. Bettina Greiner and Sophie 
Lange for the excellent organization of the conference, which included a public 
panel discussion, chaired by Bernd Greiner, in the Humboldt University Berlin. 
On the panel were: Susanne Baumann, Dr. Oliver Meier, Otfried Nassauer, and 
Prof. Dr. Andreas Wirsching. 
Prof. Dr. Leopoldo Nuti and William Alberque, who gave papers at the confer-
ence, had to drop out of the published proceedings, but we thank them for the 
helpful contributions they made to our discussions in Berlin. Two essays in this 
book are by authors only approached later. We are very grateful to Wolfgang 
Richter for agreeing to take on the complicated task of summarizing the intrusive 
INF verification system, and our special thanks go too to Prof. Dr. Ulrich Kühn, 
who discusses the present problems and prospects of the INF Treaty. Finally, we 
would like to thank Cedric Bierganns, Richard Rohrmoser, and Philipp Scherzer 
for issuing two conference reports. 
Our last words of thanks go to those who helped us prepare the text of this 
volume, especially our English copy-editor, Jon Ashby, who turned the submitted 
papers into highly readable English essays, and our student assistants, Leila Esh 
and Philipp Scherzer.
