George Fischer served in the military counterintelligence in Germany after World War II. When dismissed he got a government interest-free loan to demobilized soldiers and enrolled in graduate school at Harvard University. He studied collaboration of Soviet citizens with Nazis during World War II, and actively participated in Harvard Project on the Soviet Social System, as well as in establishing Institute for the study of history and culture of the USSR in Munich.
Fischer contended that, as several hundred thousand Soviet citizens had left the USSR at an unprecedented scale in one form or another, there need be great interest in the emigre diaspora, not only as defectors, but as allies against communism.
