The Eurasia Society, together with the German-Russian Forum, organised a lecture event in Berlin on the topic of securing peace in Europe. The speakers – Petra Erler (formerly of the EU Commission), Daniela Dahn (publicist of the left-wing spectrum) and Alexander Rahr (Eurasia Society) – began with moving words in memory of the late peace activist Antje Vollmer. The audience was also reminded of Mikhail Gorbachev's election as General Secretary exactly 40 years ago. As is well known, Gorbachev initiated one of the most significant turning points in history, which ultimately led to the reunification of Germany and the end of the Cold War. On the podium, Erler, Dahn and Rahr discussed the current war in Ukraine, the chances of securing peace and the return to a peaceful Europe.
Moderation: Martin Hoffmann
