Dekoder is a unique project that connects independent journalism from key regions—Russia, Belarus, and Ukraine—with European scientific expertise.
"We curate and translate independent media (not controlled by state structures) and thereby open direct access to the socio-political discourse of Eastern Europe: Russia, Belarus, and Ukraine.
Each journalistic publication is accompanied by contextual materials that explain unknown concepts and cultural or historical connections. These texts are written specifically for Dekoder by academic experts from European universities.
The core team works alongside a network of translators, academics, and media experts. All of us are connected to civil society and the media landscape in Russia, Belarus, and/or Ukraine, and are either native speakers or highly proficient in the language. We always keep our finger on the pulse of developments in Eastern Europe."https://www.dekoder.org/de/
