  1. RUSSIA AND GERMANY IN TUG-OF-WAR OVER IMMANUEL KANT

    This year, 300 years have elapsed since the great German philosopher Immanuel Kant was born in 1724 in Königsberg, in what was then East Prussia.

  2. The case of Yurii Dmitriev and the case of Russian Karelia

    This commentary aims to provide a context for the Dmitriev “affair” by presenting Karelia, its people, its history and its economic and political development.

  7. Huntington’s Clash of Civilizations in Russian discourse

    Huntington’s theory is more relevant now than ever in Russian discourse. The background for this is the growing religious awareness among Muslims and the growth of Russian nationalism, which fills the void left after the collapse of communism; the strengthening of the Orthodox Church; and President Putin’s recent anti-West campaign.

  8. Revisiting Kaliningrad and Its Region

    The city of Kaliningrad itself with its 450,000 inhabitants has acquired a European face. New buildings and shops have appeared all over the center, and the modern shopping malls are packed with both imported and Russian products, marked and sold with electronic bar codes.
