Molotov Plan describes two plans by Soviet Foreign Minister Vyacheslav Molotov from 1947 and 1954.

Economic plan

In July 1947, Molotov presented an aid program for the states of Central and Eastern Europe under the Soviet sphere of influence in order to prevent these states from being included in the American Marshall Plan . Subsequently, the Cominform and the Council for Mutual Economic Aid (Comecon) emerged.

Germany plan

Molotov presented his plan with the Soviet demands for a reunification of Germany to the Berlin Foreign Ministers' Conference, which met from January 25 to February 18, 1954 . Molotov's Germany Plan was a response to the Eden Plan, which had been rejected by the Soviet Union , and was in the tradition of the Stalin Notes .

Molotov's plan was as follows:

• Formation of an all-German government, elected by the parliaments of the two German states ( Federal Republic of Germany and GDR ), participation of democratic organizations
• Preparation and implementation of elections in all of Germany
• Government should adhere to a catalog of tasks (e.g. maintaining neutrality )
• Both governments are to deal with procedural issues for the formation of an all-German government

Molotov's German political goals were to preserve the socialist structures of East Germany as well as a neutrality of Germany as a whole and thus a dismantling of the western integration of the Federal Republic .
