history

The magazine was founded in February 1998 by the DKP group Berlin-Nordost. Disputes with the party executive in Essen led to the fact that in July 2001 the “Rotfuchs” -Förderverein e. V. was founded for non-party publication. In 2003 the association had 560 members.

classification

The association with 36 regional groups was classified by the Saxon State Office for the Protection of the Constitution in 2009 as neo-Stalinist and left-wing extremist .

Barbara Nolte sees the magazine as the " leading medium " for former Stasi officers. For Stefan Berg this contains a "horrible mix - from the glorification of state security to agitation against the State of Israel ". According to Dominique Herbert, Rotfuchs serves a “ history-revisionist memory discourse” and spreads a “reactionary outlook”.

The "Rotfuchs" -Förderverein e. V. is a member of the East German Board of Trustees of Associations. V. and in the anti-fascist committee against war and social robbery .
