At the beginning of this century, one could still believe that Europe was on the cusp of an era of openness. Today, a quarter-century later, everyone has arrived at a different reality.

Migrants are met with suspicion, and everyone watches Russia’s war in Ukraine in disbelief. Martin Gross traces the roots of this development through his friendships with a Russian companion and an Iraqi refugee. He describes the conflicts and points of connection in long-standing relationships with friends who, despite everything, remained strangers to one another, or with strangers who eventually became friends.
