Karl Schlögel

What makes Ukraine different? Only with the Russian annexation of Crimea has the world developed an awareness of the independence of this country, whose existence is now at stake. Karl Schlögel reports on an open and diverse society that the West has long ignored. As a proven expert on the United States, Schlögel places a special focus on the role of the United States in the current situation.

Karl Schlögel taught as professor of Eastern European history at the European University Viadrina in Frankfurt/Oder until 2013. He received the Prize of the College of History for Terror and Dream (2016). His most recent book, American Matrix. Visiting an Epoch (Fall 2023) looks at the history of the 20th century-the great years of the United States.
