The Russian House, located on Friedrichstrasse in Berlin, serves as a cultural embassy celebrating Russian-German relations. However, critics assert that its activities promote Russian propaganda under Putin, particularly through skewed film screenings and merchandise like tank-shaped soap. The building, owned by Germany but managed by Russia's Rossotrudnichestvo agency, is criticized by politicians like Robin Wagener, who argue it reflects a troubling use of cultural spaces for political purposes, claiming it is time to recognize this as war propaganda rather than a cultural exchange.
The Russian House is Russia's cultural embassy in the heart of Berlin, but critics argue it primarily serves as propaganda for Vladimir Putin's regime.
According to Robin Wagener, the events there are not mutual cultural exchanges but rather Russian war propaganda in Germany.
