Michael Klonovsky

Michael Klonovsky (born August 19, 1962 in Schlema , Aue district ) is a German journalist and writer . From June 2016 to the beginning of 2017 he was a non-party advisor to Frauke Petry when she was national spokeswoman for the Alternative for Germany party (AfD). Since February 2018 he has been the personal advisor to the AfD parliamentary group leader in the Bundestag, Alexander Gauland .

Life

Klonovsky grew up in East Berlin . He first trained as a bricklayer and made up his Abitur. Until 1989 he worked as a bricklayer, forklift driver, sports ground manager, from 1988 as a proofreader for the LDPD daily newspaper Der Morgen .

In 1990 he worked as a journalist for Der Morgen . In June 1991, Klonovsky and two other editors, Jan von Flocken and Erwin Jurtschitsch , received the Guardian Prize from the daily press of the “Freedom of the Press” foundation for courageous reports on the “exposure and treatment of human rights violations by the GDR judiciary”. After setting the morning in 1991, Klonovsky worked as a freelancer , including for Die Zeit . In 1992 he moved to Focus in Munich . There he initially worked as an editor. In 2000 he became head of the text department. From 2010 to 2012 he headed the “Debate Department”. By mutual agreement, the employment relationship with Focus ended on May 31, 2016. Two months earlier, according to Spiegel reports , Klonovsky had announced to the public via his blog that he had been banned from “all secondary activities”.

Klonovsky has been a regular author of the journal Oddly Free since 2008 . He gave interviews to the newspaper Junge Freiheit and quoted them in his novel Der Held . In 2006 he signed the “Appeal for Press Freedom” initiated by Junge Freiheit against the exclusion of Junge Freiheit from the Leipzig Book Fair .

On April 28, 2016, Klonovsky announced that he would leave Focus and work as a journalistic advisor for the AfD board spokeswoman Frauke Petry from June 1, 2016 . In an interview with taz , he said that he saw himself in his new role as a spin doctor . When asked, he defined his own political position as conservative, with a “line of conflict” to the right. According to Frankfurter Rundschau , Klonovsky also sees himself as “reactionary”. He worked as a consultant at the side of the chairman of the Junge Alternative , Markus Frohnmaier . His consultancy ended at the beginning of 2017 after a falling out with Petry and her husband Marcus Pretzell .

In the early summer of 2017, Klonovsky was appointed press spokesman for the AfD faction in the state parliament of Baden-Württemberg , which was led by Jörg Meuthen , Petry's biggest rival within the party. In July 2017, Klonovsky was named as a member of a "special unit" of the AfD for the 2017 federal election campaign.

In December 2017, the AfD-affiliated national-conservative weekly Deutschland-Kurier announced that Klonovsky was working as an author.

Klonovsky has been the personal advisor to the AfD parliamentary group leader Alexander Gauland since February 2018.

He runs the blog "Acta diurna". In an entry dated September 12, 2019, he accused Poland of "unrestrained provocation" in 1939. It goes on to say: “Since 1968 there has been a trial against the protagonists of recent German history, in which only witnesses are admitted. . . . What actually happened before the German attack on Poland 80 years ago? And why do German officials refuse to speak about this issue? ”Klonovsky names a witness and publishes a text by ex-general Gerd Schultze-Rhonhof without comment .

Klonovsky has worked as a writer in several genres. This includes novels and essays , but also aphorisms, a sports book and a wine guide. In 2001 Klonovsky published his first novel, The Ramses Code , which describes the decipherment of the Egyptian hieroglyphs by Jean-François Champollion against the historical background of Napoleon 's expedition to Egypt and its rise and fall. In 2005 Klonovsky's autobiographically inspired German novel Land der Wunder was published , in 2008 a volume of aphorisms and an homage to Giacomo Puccini on his 150th birthday. He published two books in the publishing house of André F. Lichtschlag , the publisher of peculiarly free . In the mid-1990s, Klonovsky also published the writings of the autistic author Birger Sellin in two books that were translated into several languages. In 2007 Klonovsky acted as editor of a collection of sentences from the work of the Colombian Nicolás Gómez Dávila .

Klonovsky is married to the Israeli pianist Elena Gurevich and has four children. He lives in Munich .

Positions and reception

Party landscape

In the summer of 2010, Klonovsky spoke out in an article in Focus for a “citizens' movement” to the right of the CDU . “The time to found a conservative alternative to the CDU has never been more favorable than today,” he wrote.

Political Correctness

In 1995, in a Focus article , Klonovsky used numerous examples to criticize a “movement” of political correctness that attacks freedom of expression under the pretext of maintaining language . This movement, which originated in the USA, has also spread in Germany since 1990. She represents “post-socialist messages of salvation […]: multiculturalism, one-world visions, feminism . The left, frustrated after the failure of socialism , formed the catalyst in the USA and the engine of the pc movement in Germany. "

Martin Dietzsch from the Duisburg Institute for Linguistic and Social Research and Anton Maegerle criticized Klonovsky's statements as examples of the use of political correctness as a “battle concept of all rights ” against the left. In an essay written in 1996, they classified Klonovsky in the New Right on the basis of these statements .

Alan Posener identifies with Klonovsky, as with other authors of the New Right, a programmatic “brutalization of language” that makes hatred socially acceptable and thus guarantees a connection to the “pack”. Certain formulations by Klonovsky could also have “come from an Islamist rapper”. According to the Frankfurter Rundschau, one could regard Klonosky's texts as "ironic", as he does, "but whoever does not see them as a marriage of repugnance and stupidity is not wrong either."

Feminism and Anti-Feminism

The position on feminism and gender issues presented by Klonovsky in the draft program for a new conservative alternative to the CDU was described by social pedagogue Isolde Aigner as an example of "anti-feminist thought patterns in media discourse". She stated that in 2010 and 2011 Klonovsky wrote almost all articles in Focus on the topics of gender equality , gender , gender mainstreaming and feminism, often bringing them close to socialism and communism , trying to discredit them as discrimination against men and thereby take a decidedly anti-feminist stance. He blames the women's movement for an alleged “ dressage ” and softening of men, which have made men “only shrunken men” who know “neither heroism nor greatness”.

Ursula GT Müller named the Focus and Klonovsky as an example of how important media conjured up a crisis for men or masculinity and blamed feminism, feminists or women for it.

In 2012, the magazine called Emma Klonovsky a “puller” (photo title) of a “conspiracy of the masculists” (article title) against women, the women's movement and gender mainstreaming. She cited statements from Klonovsky such as “Feminism is a luxury phenomenon” and “Men are the disadvantaged sex” and stated that such statements would appear in “respected papers” such as the FAZ and the Spiegel as well as in “confessing right-wing papers” such as the young are increasingly taking up freedom , secession or strangely free .

Racist riots in 2007

In a Focus article, Klonovsky described the reporting on the racist riots in Mügeln in 2007 as a case of “prejudice” and emphasized that not only foreigners but also Germans had been injured. The political scientist Britta Schellenberg wrote in an analysis of Klonovsky's article that the Focus was the only medium to deny that the acts of violence were xenophobic.

Legal dispute with Anton Maegerle

In 2008, Klonovsky and Focus were prohibited by a decision by the Berlin Regional Court from claiming that the journalist Anton Maegerle was working “for five constitutionally relevant periodicals” that are classified as left-wing extremist. In an article in 2007 in Focus under the heading “I see what you don't see”, Klonovsky made this false statement by Felix Krautkrämer , an author of Junge Freiheit , his own.

Social justice

2010 Klonovsky the notion wrote social justice : "The fact that it is unproductive underclass, social parasites , so that it plebs are who finds gooder so scandalous that he told everyone to bad people, who pointed out. When it comes to migrants on top of that, the accusations of racism and xenophobia that are so popular in this country are used with the same certainty as those who operate it far away from socially disadvantaged areas. "The sociologist Dirk Kaesler criticized these statements as an example of the fact that the political right" Do-gooder "as a political battle term to discredit political opponents:" By devaluing "left" ideals as "do-gooder", it underlines the claim to argue realistically and at the factual level. "

immigration

Klonovsky was one of the first to sign the “ Joint Declaration 2018 ” initiative launched by Vera Lengsfeld . In their wording, damage to Germany through “illegal mass immigration” is alleged and solidarity is expressed with peaceful demonstrators who demonstrate for a restoration of the “constitutional order on the borders of our country”. In addition to Klonovsky, Thilo Sarrazin , Matthias Matussek , Uwe Tellkamp and Henryk M. Broder signed the declaration.

Individual publications

Novels

The Ramses Code (2001)

The Ramses Code is a historical novel about the dramatic decipherment of the Egyptian hieroglyphs by Jean-François Champollion . Christian von Ditfurth (Die Welt) rated the work as a “first-class” historical novel. Klonovsky knows how to master the spell of the protagonist Jean-François Champollion.

Land of Wonders (2005)

The novel, which addresses the westernization of the main character Johannes Schönbach, who grew up in East Berlin, was discussed in the Süddeutsche Zeitung , on Germany radio by Florian Felix Weyh and the world . While Felix Weyh from Deutschlandradio sees the novel as a “literary miracle” and as a “mercilessly sarcastic x-ray of the German-German conversion process from 1987 to the end of the millennium”, it is panned by Silja Ukena in the Süddeutsche Zeitung as “Ost-Klamotte”.

Aphorisms and feature sections

Every side is the wrong one (2008)

In the volume of aphorisms published in 2008, each side is wrong , Johannes Saltzwedel recognized “precise malice”; In this book, “finally someone again masters the word-blade with virtuosity”. A reviewer for the FAZ saw in "Klonovsky's counter-offensives often no longer the uncorrupted mind's answer to the mixed reports of the day, which are no longer viewed as a case but as a structure".

Livable (2009)

Peter Sloterdijk, speaking in the Philosophical Quartet on June 7, 2010, said of the work Lebenswerte published in 2009 that it was “feuilletons of unusual brilliance. You feel transported back to the time of Tucholsky, when the German language was still vibrating. ” These texts were also received positively on Deutschlandradio Kultur .

The hero. An obituary (2011)

Matthias Matussek called Klonovsky's 2011 non-fiction book Der Held. An obituary in the mirror of a “brilliant book essay”. In the program Kurz und Kritisch on Deutschlandradio Kultur , the book is reviewed as a “revolt against a softened image of men” and “sharp diagnosis of the times”: “If there was still a noteworthy conservative journalism in Germany, Klonovsky would be its star: sharp-tongued, witty and so reactionary, as the emasculated reality demands. "

According to WAZ , Klonovsky treats his issue one-sided. He claims a new type of men, the “shrunken man”, who “would rather pinch his tail than to defend family, country and honor” and see “an over-aged, snobbish, guilt-driven, feminized” and the society that pays homage to androgyny “is the reason for the lack of a positive image of men and that fathers are seen as expendable.

Aphorisms and the like (2014)

In September 2014 Klonovsky's anthology Aphorisms and the like was published by Karolinger Verlag . Richard Gebhardt wrote in Die Zeit Online that the collection of aphorisms largely consists of literary resentment and is arch reactionary. Klonovsky especially opposes an imagined dictatorship of the politically correct, the alleged decline of the white heterosexual man and the “fight against the law”. Christoph Giesa described the anthology on The European as full of prejudices against Islam as well as homosexuals, feminists and women. As examples, Giesa cited sentences such as "Every muezzin call contains a declaration of enemy", "The superfluous uterus has emancipated itself from the monasteries to the universities and institutes" and "The spirit of the Paralympics blows with the idea of ​​giving gay couples the right to adopt ." Furthermore, Klonovsky tries to relativize the Nazi era, for example by complaining that it is now almost impossible " to express oneself in public other than in demonological language about Hitler and his cronies, that is: the anti-enlightenment has triumphed across the board . "

Johannes Saltzwedel, on the other hand, commented in the Spiegel that the book succeeds in analyzing the present, providing material for debates and sharpening language awareness: "In short, cheeky, brilliant and often paradoxical sentences it provokes thought." From the carbon dioxide balance to no current topic is taboo on literary criticism. Klonovsky's style and material achieved "the timelessly sober insight of great moralists like Nicolas Chamfort or Walter Serner ".

Please After You (2015)

In a review of the 2015 volume of aphorisms, Please After You. Florian Felix Weyh Klonovsky attests reactionaries of the day to a criticism of time with logical breaks. The volume is worth reading and offers many interesting and correct insights, but also reveals a weakness of right thinking: resentment. Like all intellectuals who position themselves clearly - left or right - Klonovsky partially loses the ability to think differently.

Love in times of the gap press (2016)

For Andreas Speit , the fact that Klonovsky published his books Request for You and Love in Times of the Gaps Press in the right-wing publisher Manuscriptum is proof that he “publishes far to the right” , in addition to his work at peculiarly free . The latter volume was also published in part in the magazine Compact in 2016. Klonovsky described Chancellor Merkel as an “enemy of the constitution”, “left-wing” and “liquidator”.
