Lost Ost

In the organizer's words:

The first talk show for and about the largest migrant group in Germany
There are almost 5 million people from the countries of the former USSR living in Germany - the largest community and perhaps the most exciting. There are many topics and many taboos, many clichés and many conflicts, many (false) friends and many fronts: Good Russians versus bad Russians, war refugees versus Putin refugees, Kontis (contingent refugees) versus Spätis (late repatriates), first generation versus second generation. Journalist and presenter Katja Garmasch and friends invite you to finally talk about it: with each other and with the rest of Germany, hard but heartfelt, political and entertaining, with no blyat' in front of the mouth. We want to open up perspectives, learn from our shared past and look to the future: How should we live together peacefully here and now? How do we deal with totalitarianism and fake news? What can the Germans learn from us? But also: Who still drinks vodka at all and if so, how do you drink it properly?
The first issue is a perfect match for a day that unites people from Germany and the former USSR: Here - Liberation Day, there - Victory Day". Our first topic goes straight to the heart of the matter: "Is everything Russian toxic?" - with the musician, DJ and author Yuriy Gurzhy (Rotfront), from Berlin, who grew up in Kharkiv, Ukraine and Edwin Warkentin, podcaster and cultural mediator from Detmold, who grew up in Almaty, Kazakhstan.
