metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: The American Committee for Liberation from Bolshevism was established as a public organization
  in 1951. Its aim was to assist the anti-communist emigration from the Soviet Union
  in its struggle to overthrow the Bolshevik regime. Americans generously financed anti-Soviet
  activities among European emigration. Their main “concern” was 250,000 former Soviet citizens
  living in West Germany in the status of displaced persons. The creators of the Committee
  deemed the Soviet emigres as one of their most important allies in the Cold War. The
  Committee intended to neutralize disconnection of the Soviet emigration by creating a central
  émigré organization in West Germany as the coordinating body in the anti-communist
  struggle. Such an integrated organization was to receive moral and material support from
  the Committee. In 1951–1952, the American Committee put a lot of effort into organizing
  and holding meetings of emigrant political associations that took place with its full financial
  support in the German cities of Füssen (January 1951), Stuttgart (August 1951), Wiesbaden
  (November 1951), Starnberg (June 1952). The final goal of creating a single anti-Bolshevik
  front among the emigration from the USSR was not achieved. However, the experience was
  significant. The committee gained good knowledge of the structure of emigration, its internal
  attitudes and problems. After the conference in Starnberg, the center of gravity in the work of
  the Committee’s work with emigration was shifted to New York. Most of the conferences and
  all activities of emigration were relocated to Munich, where the Munich Institute for the Study
  of the USSR operated.
