The Rise of Racial Hygiene in Germany
In 1920, the Prussian Interior Council creates a council on racial hygiene to discuss how to grow the German population and halt illegal abortion. In 1925, there's a Soviet leading eugenics journal that publishes translations of German articles on racial hygiene with positive remarks. And partly as a result of this, Weimar Germany and the Soviet Union establish a joint institute for racial biology in Moscow between 1931 and 1938.
