Jörg Baberowski

Jörg Baberowski is a prominent German historian specializing in Eastern European history, particularly Russia. He serves as a professor at Humboldt University in Berlin and is known for his critical insights into power dynamics and violence in historical contexts. His recent works include 'Der sterbliche Gott – Macht und Herrschaft im Zarenreich' and 'Die letzte Fahrt des Zaren. Als das alte Russland unterging'. In a recent interview, Baberowski discussed the complexities of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict and offered a pragmatic view on international relations, suggesting that power often overshadows moral considerations in politics.
