The study estimates J.P. Goebbels experience of the Soviet state are selected as research object in this paper for several reasons. First, at this time he was under the influence of the greatest intellectual currents positive about developments in Russia since the 1917 Second, the study of vision is so influential and iconic National Socialist Goebbels as the theory and practice of the Russian revolution can shed on the nature forms and methods of struggle for power of the National Socialist movement. Third, the study views the future minister of propaganda on the theory and practice of Bolshevism relevance to the modern trends in the historiography of German National Socialism, the focus of which is the question of the degree of mutual influence of Nazism and Bolshevism, and the problem of continuity of the Third Reich in the common line of German history. Goebbels on the estimates of experience creating Bolshevik state influenced by several factors. First, the desire to promote the public emphasize exclusivity, uniqueness and inevitability of the National Socialist movement in Germany, which is realized by comparing it with Bolshevism. Second, the desire to see the experience of the young Soviet state the positive aspects, and the solution to the problems that meant a Nazi propaganda in Germany, such as the release of the influence of the liberal West. Third, imponirovanie Goebbels radical revolutionary way of transforming society, realized in Soviet Russia, and his proposed for implementation in Germany. Fourth, the growth of negative assessments of Bolshevism Goebbels in the second half of the twenties was caused by intense political competition between the NSDAP and the KPD in Berlin. Fifth, despite the fact that the estimates of Goebbels is happening in the Soviet Union, has a higher degree of pragmatism and rationality, for example, compared with estimates of Hitler, they can be described as superficial, on the one hand the need to be generated by the propaganda, and on the other a lack of information. So talking about the way the nationalization of private property, the future propaganda minister was silent about the experience of the NEP. Appeal to the Russian theme in the work of Goebbels as minister of propaganda will be more frequent, and with an increase in negative ratings in public propaganda speeches, diaries and private conversations, he will sometimes allow ourselves to positive reviews.
