FINISSAGE of the exhibition "History Between Us: The Niederkirchner Family—A Contradictory Legacy"
6:00 p.m.
Curator-led tour with Annette Leo and Ilja Niederkirchner
The exhibition approaches the topic from two different perspectives. Ilja Niederkirchner, a descendant and photographer, explores his heritage artistically by cutting up, blending, or reassembling the inherited images. Historian Annette Leo traces the life stories of individual family members between Berlin and Moscow in a documentary style, embedding them in the historical context of the 20th century.
Location: Main Building, Room 108
7:00 p.m.
IN CONVERSATION: Is Stalin a Hero Again?—The Politics of Memory in Russia Today
In April 2026, Russia’s Supreme Court classifies the human rights organization “Memorial” as an extremist organization and makes supporting it a criminal offense. Since its founding in 1989, Memorial has addressed the crimes of the Stalin era, collected documents, and interviewed and supported surviving victims. How can this work continue? Was the archive saved? And how is it possible that statues and busts of Stalin are once again being erected in Russia?
Irina Scherbakowa and Wladislaw Hedeler discuss their experiences.
Irina Scherbakowa, born in Moscow in 1949, is a Germanist, art historian, and co-founder of Memorial. She has been living in exile in Germany since 2022 and continues her work there.
Wladislaw Hedeler was born in 1953 in Tomsk, Siberia, where his father had been exiled. For many years, he has been researching Stalinism and the fate of German emigrants in the Soviet Union.
