abstract = {The paper deals with the connection between politically induced catch-up development,
cultural and intellectual traditions and economic order in Germany and Russia. It is
argued that in the history of both countries we encounter significant structural parallels,
including the totalitarian experience. After World War II the German political \'{e}lite managed
to implement capitalism in a country, the population of which was still hostile
towards capitalism. The key to success was that the German political rulers, in contrast
to the Russian ?young reformers? of the early 1990s, from the beginning on took into
account the shared mental models prevailing in Germany. Therefore some lessons may
be drawn from the German historical experience in regard to today?s Russia.},
