Works

Putin's world, 2015

In his in-depth review of October 4, 2015, Peer Steinbrück came to the conclusion that Gloger's factual and highly informative work stood out from the usual publications because it renounced demonization and mystification and was by no means taboo on misunderstandings, misjudgments and the “arrogance of the West”. "Putin does not appear as a riddle, but as the apostle of a mission that wants to lead his country out of the condition of an injured and humiliated great power and restore it to a first-class power factor." Katja Gloger also sees Putin's paradigm shift in 2012 to an authoritarian-repressive system and the attack on Ukraine in 2014 without “delusion”; it portrays the annexation of Crimea as a clear violation of the Paris Charter 1990 and the Budapest Memorandum of 1994.

In his collective review of November 10, 2015, Julian Hans ( SZ ) also considers the book Glogers to be the best of the available ones (as of 2015) and takes a critical view of Seipel's portrait of Putin. Gloger's work is knowledge-based, while Seipel's book, on the other hand, is a failed attempt at superficial apologetics, especially since Seipel did not provide any new knowledge. Similar to Steinbrück, he emphasizes Gloger's portrayal of the “'ideological primeval mud' of chauvinism, sentimental folkism and orthodoxy”, from which the “counterrevolution against modernity” ”draws its fuel. The reviewer would like the Ukraine chapter to have countered the “many allegations”: “... the dynamic with which the protest rose to violence - as a reaction to police violence and a hastily enacted bundle of repressive laws that severely restricted fundamental rights - remains vague. Understanding this dynamic is important in order to counter the disinformation that the United States ordered and paid for the protest. "Julian Hans, however, does not see a chance for Gloger's work to make it onto the bestseller lists alongside Seipel and Krone-Schmalz :" Russia kitsch and understanding of authoritarian rulers attract more readers in Germany than in-depth analyzes. "

For Aschot Manutscharjan, in his collective review of December 21, 2015, the “second wave of 'Putinology'” arrived in the bookstores, in which Gloger's source-rich presentation is the best choice. He finds it remarkable that Gloger was given direct access to the president: "Vladimir Putin seems to attach strategic importance to German journalists". Unlike Seipel, she also succeeds in depicting the “dark side” and thus really “understanding” Putin. She clearly worked out the anti-Western ideology, the turning away from Europe, the militarization of the economy, the turning away from modernization and the rule of law. Russia remains, as Manucharyan quotes, "a lonely power, but more than ever a prisoner of the past." Manucharyan emphasizes as a special quality of the presentation that, despite all criticism, Gloger maintains an independent and euphoria-free view of the events in Russia and the Ukraine: Gloger rightly points out that the Maidan 2014 ended with a pact of the corrupt elites like the Orange Revolution ten years earlier.

In his review of January 28, 2016, Martin Munke emphasized that Gloger represented the “re-ideologization” of politics in Putin's third term in office: “Clear friend-foe images and 'increasingly nationalistic promises of salvation' determine domestic and foreign policy Discourses ... ”Gloger sees the lack of legitimacy as the most important cause of the“ conflicting relationship between Russia and the majority of European states and the USA ”.

Stranger Friends, 2017

In your Sputnik interview of March 3, 2018 on her publication "Fremde Freunde", Gloger said that the understanding between Russians and Germans has historically always been in waves, but the scale is now almost negative, alienation and mutual mistrust Much bigger: "The narrative, especially about the Ukraine crisis, the annexation of Crimea and the war in eastern Ukraine, is so different on both sides that it sometimes seems to me that an understanding hardly seems possible anymore - a very sad finding . " Both sides have cause for self-criticism, development opportunities since the 1980s have not been taken, hopes have been dashed.
