title: ‘Ich kam, ich sah, ich werde schreiben’: Lion Feuchtwanger in Moskau 1937. Eine Dokumentation. [‘I came, I saw, I will write’: Lion Feuchwanger in Moscow 1937. A documentation.]
abstract: Towards the end of 2014, Anne Hartmann published her ‘take’ on the German writer Lion Feuchtwanger (1884–1958) as a Stalinversteher, someone who (thought he) understood Stalin. This article appeared shortly after the Kremlin had added Crimea to its portfolio and Russian troops, with some local support, had initiated a military operation in parts of eastern Ukraine. It was not long before more attention was focused on a new brand of pro-Kremlin fellow travellers, known in German as Putinversteher
