Wie Deutschland sich von Russland täuschen ließ. Mit Rüdiger von Fritsch (1/2)

A diplomat on Putin's Russia—and Germany's mistakes. Rüdiger von Fritsch, former German ambassador to Moscow, speaks with Paul Ronzheimer about his formative experiences during the Cold War, a spectacular escape from East Germany, and the crucial years of German policy toward Russia. Why did Germany long believe in change through cooperation? Was Germany deceived by Putin? And what went wrong with Nord Stream and in dealing with Moscow? A conversation about diplomacy, historical responsibility, and the West's errors.
