dc.description.abstract-translatedSince the Treaty of Rapallo in 1922, the German Reich and the Soviet Union had formed an unequal community of purpose. Although both states conducted trade relations with each other and jointly circumvented the provisions of the Treaty of Versailles, the diplomatic relationship was not based on a particularly strong foundation of trust. On the one hand, Moscow was suspicious not only of the adoption of the Dawes Treaty but also of the negotiations on the Locarno Treaties. The USSR was uneasy about its partner’s increasing orientation towards the West and tried to prevent it with offers and threats. On the other side was Berlin, which wanted to escape its foreign policy isolation and return to the circle of the major European powers. Stresemann’s goals could not be achieved without rapprochement with the West, but for geopolitical reasons the Soviet Union was not to be dispensed with either, which is why the Reich tried to accommodate Russian concerns. This occasionally tense relationship between the two states will be traced against the background of the Treaty of Locarno from the eve of its conclusion to the Treaty of Berlin.en
