The article shows that the international military cooperation of the USSR in the 1930s, relied on the historical Russian experience; not limited to Germany; cooperation was often initiated by foreign partners, not the Soviet side. New technologies were offered to the Soviet Union and at the same time they requested advice from Soviet specialists on various issues, including aviation medicine

The expansion of military contacts contributed to the development of military linguistics. The USSR provided support to foreign countries that allowed the careless handling of weapons, and also participated in the development of international agreements on the transparency of military spending.

Keywords: Military cooperation, USSR, 1930s, international cooperation, control of military expenditures, military linguistics. The source for writing the article was the documents of the “Special Folder” stored in the RGASPI in the fund of the Central Committee of the CPSU.

German society was not monolithic. Keenly aware that not all segments of society equally ready to support the regime, the political elite sent its efforts on the weakest link, i.e. the youth. Regime enlisted support of young people, orienting it to rejection of intellectualism. We used several techniques: 1) borrowing of cult heroes of young people to create an image of a Nazi, 2) exploitation of popular forms of socialization among young people, 3) dominance of extracurricular and socialization-family, 4) break the chain of social continuity, which simplifies the imposition of a new morality, «moral ethnicity», 5) introduction of programs of social regression with gender roles, 6) increase the proportion of the school curriculum ideological disciplines and sports, which provided the vulnerability of youth, among the rest of the population in the face of speculators from the science and law, as well as experts in the field propaganda, 6) maximum convergence of social distance between teacher and pupil, as well as among students themselves to ensure the effectiveness of communication and a stable, horizontal communication, creating the illusion of popular community, 7) speculation on the idealistic young people, reliance on the thesis of national superiority.
 
Key words: ideological mobilization of youth, generation gap, social regression
