Plaque of the Soviet embassy chancellery, Berlin 1937

The plaque reads, first in Russian and then in German, Kanzlei der Botschaft der Union der Sozialistischen Sowjet-Republiken in Deutschland, with reception hours from 10 to 1 and on Saturdays from 10 to 12; a second sign below, in Russian, names the consular section. In 1937 relations between Berlin and Moscow were at their coldest: Germany had signed the Anti-Comintern Pact the previous November, and in Moscow Stalin's purges were sweeping away Soviet diplomats, several of them recalled from Berlin. Two years later the two powers signed their pact.
