Book review: Germany’s Russia problem: the struggle for balance in Europe by John Lough

In Germany’s Russia Problem: The Struggle for Balance in Europe, John Lough argues that Germany’s historically conditioned reflexes have distorted its view of Russia and inhibited its policy approach to this strategic issue. This sharp and insightful account into German-Russian relations is a very timely read for policymaking and scholarly communities alike, writes Andriy Tyushka.
