Russian-German (late) repatriates are one of the largest migrant groups in Germany. Nevertheless, the multifaceted history of Russian Germans remains largely invisible—even within the community itself. Many chapters of this history have long been neglected, and critical questions have often gone unasked. With Putin’s current regime and the war of aggression against Ukraine, Russian-German communities are now more divided than ever. It is precisely in times like these that education, exchange, and cohesion are needed. Project Ekho therefore aims to make the Russian-German past visible and come to terms with it – through exchange, education, and artistic engagement.
