The article gives a comparative analysis of the cultural development of the USSR and Germany, who fought against each other in the Second World War. It is noted that the political regimes established in them in the designated period had a different ideological basis and set different goals and objectives. At the same time, it was established that the dictatorial essence of the state system that has established itself in these countries predetermined the similarity of a number of features in their cultural development. It is concluded that the spiritual potential of the USSR and Germany was comprehensively controlled by the state apparatus of administration, purposefully and effectively used for the indoctrination of society in order to suppress dissent and strengthen the dominant power.
