Despite the fact that the AfD is an irreconcilable ideological opponent of trade unions, their members show sympathy for the party. The severity of the situation is due not only to the fact that more than a tenth of supporters of professional associations support the AfD in elections, but also to the fact that, as a percentage, trade union members vote more actively for this party than the average German voter. The reasons for the growth of right-wing sentiments among the class of employees are considered. The methods used by trade unions in the ideological struggle are shown, up to direct prohibitions for their supporters on parallel membership in the AfD. In this situation, the trade unions have clearly demonstrated themselves as an independent political actor, but, in our opinion, they have become the losing side in the fight against the AfD. The authors complement existing approaches to the study of the problems of the functioning of German trade unions in the political process in Germany.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p>Рассмотрены проблемы немецких профсоюзов, связанные с продолжающимся несколько лет противоборством с молодой партией правого спектра «Альтернатива для Германии» (АдГ). Несмотря на то, что АдГ является непримиримым идейным противником проф союзов, их члены проявляют симпатии к партии. Острота ситуации обусловлена не только тем, что более десятой доли сторонников профессиональных объединений поддерживают АдГ на выборах, но и тем, что в процентном отношении члены профсоюзов активнее голосуют за данную партию, чем средний немецкий избиратель. Рассмотрены причины роста правых настроений среди класса наемных работников. Показаны методы, применяемые профсоюзами в идеологической борьбе, вплоть до прямых запретов для своих сторонников на параллельное членство в «Альтернативе». В данной ситуации профсоюзы ярко продемонстрировали себя как самостоятельный политический актор, но, по мнению авторов исследования, стали проигравшей стороной в схватке с АдГ. Авторы дополняют существующие подходы к исследованию проблем функционирования немецких профсоюзов в политическом процессе Германии.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>German trade unions</kwd><kwd>political actors</kwd><kwd>political struggle</kwd><kwd>right-wing populism</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>профсоюзы ФРГ</kwd><kwd>политические акторы</kwd><kwd>политическая борьба</kwd><kwd>правый популизм</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="en">Grishin OE, Kanushkin AV.
