  Mascha Kaléko

  Mascha Kaléko war eine deutschsprachige, der Neuen Sachlichkeit zugerechnete Dichterin.
  
  Charakteristisch für Mascha Kalékos Arbeit ist die Großstadtlyrik mit ironisch-zärtlichem, melancholischem Ton. Als einzige bekannte weibliche Dichterin der Neuen Sachlichkeit wurde sie häufig mit ihren männlichen Kollegen verglichen, so bezeichnete man sie als „weiblichen Ringelnatz“ oder nannte sie einen „weiblichen Kästner“. Die auch Montagsgedichte genannten Strophen rühren durch ihre schnörkellose und direkte Sprache an. Ihre Gedichte wurden – als Chansons vertont – von Diseusen wie Hanne Wieder gesungen oder werden von Sängern wie Rainer Bielfeldt noch heute vorgetragen.

  Oliver Bullough

  I moved to Russia in 1999, after growing up in mid-Wales and studying at Oxford University. I had no particular plan, beyond a desire to learn Russian, but got a job at a local magazine and realised I liked finding things out and writing about them.
  
  The next year I moved to Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan, then joined Reuters news agency, which sent me to Moscow. The first major story I reported on was the Moscow theatre siege of 2002, when a group of Chechens seized a theatre in the capital.
  
  It both horrified and fascinated me, and I resolved to find out as much as I could about Chechnya and the North Caucasus, to try to understand the roots of the conflict that had burst so unexpectedly into my life. I travelled extensively in the mountains that form
