UK political expert about Germany’s Russia Problem
John Lough is an Associate Fellow of the Russia & Eurasia Programme at Chatham House (since 2009) and a regular commentator on Russian and Ukrainian affairs. He spent six years with NATO managing information programmes aimed at Central and Eastern Europe, including a posting to Moscow, where he set up NATO’s Information Office in Russia and was the first Alliance official to be permanently based in the country.
In this bold and original analysis, John Lough explains the scale of the challenge facing Germany as it strives to design policies for managing its relations with a changing Russia. GERMANY’S RUSSIA PROBLEM looks at the role of German business interests and Germany’s vulne- rability to Russian interference, including misinformation and cyber attacks. It concludes by considering how Germany can strengthen its position against Russian influence in the future.
