and institutional transformations of Departments M and 26 are examined across several decades. The research draws on historical archival documents, academic literature, and interviews with former MfS employees. Furthermore, secrecy, hierarchical command structures, violations of legal norms, and the cultivation of public fear are analyzed as essential conditions supporting effective surveillance. The findings highlight the importance of communication monitoring for maintaining political authority and extending state control over the East German population. Overall, the dissertation contributes to historical and political science research on state repression, intelligence organizations, and surveillance mechanisms in authoritarian political systems.
