Germany moves to shut Berlin's Russian House

Original: Berlin’s ‘Russian House’ stayed open despite Russia’s war in Ukraine and EU sanctions, shielded by a reciprocal deal over Moscow’s Goethe-Institut. Germany’s sabotage accusation was the final straw.

Germany is moving against Berlin's so-called Russian House, which remained open throughout Russia's war in Ukraine despite EU sanctions. The cultural institution had been protected by a reciprocal arrangement covering Moscow's Goethe-Institut, but Berlin now links it to sabotage activity, prompting the push to close it.

Why now: Germany has accused the Russian House of involvement in sabotage, making its continued operation politically untenable.
