Donation campaign to fight a SLAPP suit against Munich historian Franziska Davies

Over the last months, Munich historian Franziska Davies has been fact-checking and scholarly criticising a German journalist and "Putin-Emphasiser" Gabriele Krone-Schmalz, whose work was popularizing a Putinist vision of Russia and Ukraine. Now Krone-Schmalz is suing Davies, in the style of SLAPP-suit (Strategic lawsuit against public participation). A group of scholars, incl. the board of VOH – Verband der OsteuropahistorikerInnen, started a donation campaign to collect money to help cover the process cost – surplus money will go to Ukrainian charities. Please support the campaign here (https://www.betterplace.me/solidaritaet-mit-franziska-davies?) and by sharing it!
