Abstract
The main focus of this article is an edition of Stasi documents relating to the events of 1953, which is both a representative and a starting point for the entire series of secret reports by the Central Group for Analysis and Information (Centralna Grupa ds. Analizy i Informacji, ZAIG). The main body of the article is preceded by a brief overview of the history of the Stasi, the rules governing access to its files, and a presentation of other publications series prepared by the Federal Commissioner for the Records of the State Security Service of the former German Democratic Republic (BStU). This institutional and editorial background serves to provide an in-depth analysis of the source edition in question, as well as its significance for research into the functioning of the GDR’s security apparatus and its perception of “enemies of the state”.
