What does it say about the political culture of a country when a term like "Russia understander" becomes a weapon of stigmatization and exclusion? Isn't understanding the fundamental prerequisite for fair judgment - an indispensable virtue in a world that unfolds in shades of gray and is rarely black or white? In her lecture on December 13, 2024 in Berlin, Gabriele Krone-Schmalz invited people to take a step back and question the current media portrayal of Russia. Dr. Gabriele Krone-Schmalz, born in 1949, studied Eastern European history, political science and Slavic studies. From 1987 to 1991 she was a correspondent in the ARD studio in Moscow and then moderated the ARD Kulturweltspiegel until 1997. She was professor of TV and journalism at Iserlohn University until 2022 and a member of the steering committee of the Petersburg Dialogue until 2023. She is a Fellow of the German Marshall Fund. Gabriele Krone-Schmalz has received numerous prizes and awards, including the Grimme Prize twice and the Pushkin Medal. She was awarded the Federal Cross of Merit, First Class, for the quality of her television reporting. #russia #gabrielekroneschmalz #kroneschmalz #westendverlag #putin #ukraine Anti-Russian reservations have a long tradition in Germany and were consolidated in two world wars. Their effectiveness can also be observed in the Ukraine war. In fact, not only is the relationship between Russia, the West and Ukraine more complex than is usually portrayed, but so is Russian history since the end of the Cold War. This book shows that the West has squandered many opportunities through its arrogance towards Russia. Since the Ukraine war, Europe has come closer to the danger of being crushed in the power struggle between future superpowers. Link to the shop: https://www.buchkomplizen.de/russland...
