Justice & Minorities
Podcast Description
The JUSTIMINO podcast explores the history of minorities in the Russian Empire, the Soviet Union and neighbouring regions. For the JUSTIMINO team, these minorities are not passive historical objects, they are important agents determined to shape their own destinies, even under highly authoritarian rule. In many cases, they used legal strategies to do so, invoking 'justice' and 'legality' to fight for their rights. Delving into intriguing and untold stories and interviewing a wide range of scholars and activists, the hosts of this podcast not only show the cultural diversity of Eurasia, but also highlight the courage and resilience of its countless 'minorities' throughout modern history.

In dieser Folge geht es um einen faszinierenden Kriminalfall, der sich um 1880 im Kaukasus ereignete. Im Prozess von Kutaisi standen neun georgische Juden im Verdacht, ein christliches Mädchen entführt und getötet zu haben. Angeblich hatten sie ihr Blut für religiöse Zwecke missbraucht. Dieser Fall von Blutanklage – ein Vorwurf, dem sich Juden in Europa seit dem Mittelalter immer wieder ausgesetzt sahen – wird im Rahmen des JUSTIMINO-Projektes aktuell untersucht. Leo Hedrich unterhält sich mit Stefan Kirmse und Archil Longurashvili, die beide zur Lage der georgischen Juden sowie zum Prozess und seinen Auswirkungen forschen. Was sagt er uns über Justiz des Zarenreiches? Welches Licht wirft er auf den russischen Kolonialismus? Und wie ging der Prozess eigentlich aus?
