德国歌德学院宣布将于2026年9月13日关闭其在俄罗斯的所有分支机构1。该决定涉及莫斯科、圣彼得堡和新西伯利亚的三个分支1。歌德学院秘书长吉特·茨肖克表示，"所有员工必须从2026年9月13日起停止在俄罗斯的工作"1。歌德学院主席格谢·约斯特称此举为"德俄文化关系历史上的一个时代的终结"1。
这一关闭决定是俄罗斯外交部在8月初莱比锡机场无人机袭击事件后做出的报复措施1。俄罗斯外交部针对德国当局关闭了俄罗斯文化教育中心、俄罗斯驻波恩总领事馆，并收紧了对俄罗斯公民的签证限制1。根据2011年俄德双边政府间协议，俄罗斯馆在柏林和歌德学院在俄罗斯的分支均受该协议规范1。
关闭将影响俄罗斯的德语学习者与教师。2025年约有10,000人通过歌德学院项目学习德语，而2023年前这一数字约为16,000人1。歌德学院2025年管理了约22,000场考试，图书馆吸引了6,700名访客1。
The Goethe-Institut will shut down all its operations across Russia on September 13, 2026, marking a significant escalation in deteriorating cultural relations between Berlin and Moscow. 1 The closure affects branches in Moscow, Saint Petersburg, and Novosibirsk, with all staff required to cease work on that date. 1 Goethe-Institut Secretary General Gitte Zschoch stated that "all employees must stop working in Russia as of September 13, 2026." 1
The decision comes as retaliation by the Russian Foreign Ministry following Germany's closure of the Russian Cultural and Educational Center and implementation of tighter visa restrictions on Russian citizens. 1 These measures were triggered by a drone attack at Leipzig Airport in early August. 1 Goethe-Institut President Gersche Jost characterized the closure as "the end of an era in the history of German-Russian cultural relations." 1
The shutdown will impact thousands of language learners and educators. Approximately 10,000 people studied German through Goethe-Institut programs in 2025, compared to around 16,000 before 2023. 1 In 2025 alone, the institute administered roughly 22,000 examinations and welcomed 6,700 library visitors. 1
The operational framework for both the Russian Cultural Center in Berlin and Goethe-Institut branches in Russia was established under a bilateral government agreement signed in 2011. 1
