The History of the Stasi

The Stasi Meant To East Germany And Historically Means To The Entire World Four Decades Of Repression And Prosecution Carried Out In The Name Of Justice Which Only Ended In 1989. The Word Relates To The Special Secret Police Agency That Was Founded On February 8 1950 By Its First Executive Wilhelm Zaisser And Took The Complete Name Of Ministerium Fr Staatsichereit Or Mfs (Ministry For State Security) Which Stasi Is The Abbreviated Form Resulting From Its Phonetic Contraction. It Was Formally Dependent On The Government But Actually Referred To The Intelligence Of The Sed Central Committee. The Very Purpose Of The Stasi Was To Endorse And Impose The Power Of The Sed By Catching And Destroying Any Dissident Man Or Woman Who Tried To Escape Plot And Work Against The Party Or Simply Was Differently Thinking. Every Little Suspect Could Turn To The Evidence Of A Crime Against The Government Either Being Real Or Nonexisting; Any Single Attempt Of Rebellion Should Be Prevented Not To Turn To Real Uprising. The Way To Make It Possible Was The Careful Monitoring Of The Population With The Utmost Secrecy To The Purpose Of Collecting As Much Information As Possible About Individuals.
