在这篇文章中，我将展示社会主义越南如何成为冷战期间社会主义国家之间情报技术转让和国际交流的一个试验案例。我将主要关注社会主义越南从东德国家安全部获得的援助。与此同时，我将展示其他社会主义国家的安全部门也帮助了越南，并且在第二次印度支那战争结束后，越南自己将情报知识转移到邻国柬埔寨和老挝。因此，本文不仅强调了安全合作在冷战社会主义国际主义中的作用，而且强调了社会主义世界内部的相互联系和思想的全球流通。它还分析说，尽管在20世纪80年代，东德斯塔西向越南提供的援助仍然以“社会主义国际主义”的形式进行，但它越来越具有商业性质。
Abstract In this article I show how socialist Vietnam became a test case of the transfer of intelligence know-how and the international dimension of interchange between socialist countries during the Cold War. I will focus mainly on the assistance that socialist Vietnam received from the East German Ministry of State Security. At the same time, I will show that other socialist state security services helped Vietnam as well and that after the end of second Indochina War Vietnam itself transferred knowledge in intelligence to the neighboring countries of Cambodia and Laos. Thus, this article highlights not only the role of security cooperation in cold war socialist internationalism, but also the interconnectedness and the global circulation of ideas within the socialist world. It also analyses that although in the 1980s assistance provided by the East German Stasi to Vietnam was still couched in terms of ‘socialist internationalism’, it increasingly assumed a commercial character.
