Mare Culture Meeting with Marion Mitterhammer
Sa., 07.11.2026 from 16:00 o'clock
Historical book presentation with Prof. Dr. Stefan Karner
35 years ago, Stefan Karner, founder of the Ludwig Boltzmann Institute for War Consequences Research, was the first to gain access in Moscow to the millions of secret prisoner-of-war files of the NKVD. The fate of thousands from Austria, Germany, France, Italy, and Luxembourg could be clarified. The background of this research sensation is described in the book unvarnished, open, and direct: as a journey back to those years when it became possible in Moscow to do what today seems unthinkable again, and as a look at Russian society between communist aspirations and western orientation. The book is a piece of Austrian research history, thrillingly told through the example of access to Russian secret archives during the turning years at the end of Perestroika.
