On Sahra Wagenknecht and talks with Pegida
http://www.fr-online.de/pegida/sahra-wagenknecht--mit-pegida-reden-,29337826,29630636.html
- this is the first link Google search "Sahra Wagenknecht Pegida" gives.
Alexander Volodarskyi also spends much time in Germany, speaks German
and is familiar with German left, though he knows Die Linke from the
outside only and might not know the exact details of internal debates.
The website http://vlada.io where the article appeared in Russian is run
by Ukrainian liberal journalists. Its chief editor Denis Kazanskyi is
from Donetsk. He became quite well-known in Ukraine for publishing
materials about life of Donbas under Party of Regions which were highly
critical of its rule. he then became active in Donetsk Maidan and had to
flee to Kyiv when DPR seized the region.
Recently, he invited Volodarskyi to publish "liberal's guide to the
left" articles. This is important as the stereotype of all leftists
being crazy stalinists is widespread among the liberals but liberals and
leftists can be allies against the far right so giving the liberals a
more nuanced view of the left is important.
