德国外交部长宣布终止俄罗斯文化中心在柏林的租赁合同12。这一决定作为对俄罗斯参与8月4日莱比锡/哈雷机场无人机袭击事件的报复措施12。
俄罗斯文化中心位于柏林弗里德里希街，由俄罗斯机构Rossotrudnichestvo运营12。该中心自1984年开放以来1，建筑面积约30000平方米1，年均接待约20万名访客2。根据1992年12月签署的《德俄文化合作政府间协议》2，该中心一直作为德俄文化交流的重要平台。
德国政府长期以来对关闭该中心存有顾虑。外交部发言人表示，俄罗斯文化中心的命运与莫斯科歌德学院相挂钩2，暗示德国担心俄罗斯可能采取报复行动关闭莫斯科的歌德学院1。俄罗斯方面称该文化中心是"俄罗斯驻柏林中心的文化使馆"2。
Germany's Foreign Minister announced the termination of the lease agreement for the Russian House cultural center in Berlin, marking a retaliatory measure against Russia's involvement in a drone attack on Leipzig/Halle Airport on August 4.12 The decision ends a longstanding diplomatic arrangement that had become a focal point of tension in German-Russian relations since the facility's opening in 1984.1
The Russian House, located on Berlin's Friedrichstrasse and operated by Rossotrudnichestvo, a federal institution of the Russian Federation, attracts approximately 200,000 visitors annually.12 The approximately 30,000-square-meter facility has been subject to European Union sanctions since 2022, and its operations have been governed by a government-level cultural cooperation agreement signed in December 1992 and effective from May 1993.12
German officials had previously hesitated to close the cultural center, citing concerns that Russia would retaliate by shutting down the Goethe Institute in Moscow.12 According to a German Foreign Ministry spokesperson, the fate of the Russian House remained linked to the Moscow Goethe Institute, underscoring the reciprocal nature of cultural institutions between the two nations.2 Russia has characterized the center as "the cultural embassy of the Russian Federation in Berlin," signaling its strategic importance to Moscow.2
