Die von 1986 bis 1991 von Michail Gorbatschow geprägte Reformphase der Sowjetunion ist in die Geschichte unter den Begriffen von "Glasnost" und "Perestroika" eingegangen. Wie stellt sich der Forschungsstand zu dieser Phase dar? Welche historische Zugriffe dominieren? Diesen und weiteren Fragen geht Corinna Kuhr-Korolev in ihrem Artikel "Vor dem Ende der Sowjetunion. Ein Forschungsbericht zur Perestroika" nach, der in einer abgekürzten Form in der aktuellen APuZ-Ausgabe (bpb) "Umbrüche in Europa (nach) 1989/91" veröffentlicht wurde.
In the latest episode of the ZZF podcast Dr. Jan Claas Behrends, Dr. Corinna Kuhr-Korolev, Kateryna Chernii and Maren Francke discussed the changes and continuities of communist legacies through the prism of professional and personal networks, Russian museums, Ukrainian football and Hungarian university colleges. Check out the link to hear the podcast.
Berlin was empty when I got there. I walked through Tiergarten to Potsdamer Platz on one of my first days, and there was no one, like in a post-apocalyptic film. The rain and the cold contributed too, but mostly it was the lockdown, the last one caused by the original COVID variant, while the vaccinations were still rolling out.
