Discussion Event

Zwischen Klischee und Realität: Russlanddeutsche und die Politik

25/03/2025

On March 25, 2025, the event "Zwischen Klischee und Realität: Russlanddeutsche und die Politik" (Between Stereotype and Reality: Russian Germans and Politics) will take place as part of the International Weeks Against Racism.

How do Russian Germans actually vote? While some claim they predominantly support populist parties, studies reveal a more nuanced picture. But why does this stereotype persist?

Our project member Hakob Matevosyan will present insights from our research on political attitudes, social belonging, and historical perspectives among Germans with a Russian migratory background. He will join journalist Kyra Funk and community representative Peter Dück for the discussion.

The event is organized by the Museum for Russian German Cultural History in Detmold.
