Abstract

Osteuropa is a journal that goes against the spirit of the times. It remains a regionally focused, interdisciplinary academic journal, at a time when, for example, an ever greater narrowing of disciplines is taking place at universities. The balancing act that the journal performs in order to bridge the gap between academia and the general public is also becoming more difficult for other reasons, as editors Manfred Sapper and Volker Weichsel explain. In general, a destruction of thinking can be observed.
