Alan Philps tells of Nadia, a translator at the Metropol Hotel who became a "secret dissident" after losing faith in Stalinism during the purges. She trusted Australian journalist Godfrey Blunden, believing him to be more reliable than "snobbish" British or career-driven American reporters. She shared her true, dangerous views with him and even took him to visit private Soviet homes, which was strictly forbidden. However, Blunden betrayed her by publishing a novel that thinly disguised her identity and the locations she had shown him. This led to Nadia's arrest in 1948 and an eight-year sentence in the Gulag, where she faced starvation. Her husband and daughter were also broken by the system. Nadia eventually survived, moving to Israel in the 1970s. Philps notes that her grandson is now a professor in Jerusalem, offering a rare "happy ending" amidst the broader tragedy of Soviet brutality. (3)1906

Alan Philps tells the story of Tanya, a 28-year-old woman who used her English skills to escape a life of poverty and suspicion in Moscow. Denied education due to her "bourgeois" background, she became a translator at the Metropol for correspondent Ronnie Matthews. Matthews, a heavy-drinking but devoted reporter, eventually begged her to marry him. The Soviets attempted to prevent her departure, but Matthews refused to leave the country without her, forcing the authorities to grant her an exit permit. In Cairo, Tanya's glamorous lifestyle and tennis matches with a British general sparked unfounded rumors that she was a Soviet "honey trap." Despite being under surveillance by both British and Soviet intelligence, she successfully built a new life in the West. Her story was later chronicled in a 1993 BBCdocumentary titled Going Back.

Anfang der 1930er Jahre ist der 1. FC Nürnberg einer der erfolgreichsten Fußball­vereine Deutschlands und steht für schichten­über­grei­fen­de Fußball­­be­geis­terung und Sportsgeist. Doch ausgerechnet der angesehene Trainer des „Clubs“, Jenő Konrád, wird 1932 zum Opfer einer antisemi­ti­schen Kampagne der lokalen National­sozia­listen. Nicht einmal ein Jahr später wird der Verein den Aus­schluss seiner jüdischen Vereins­mit­glieder be­schließen – und sich Stück für Stück in den Dienst der NS-Herr­schaft stellen. In der neuen Folge von „Zeitlupe“ zeich­nen wir mit dem Zeit­histo­ri­ker Dr. Matthias Braun die Geschichte des 1. FC Nürnberg im National­sozia­lismus nach und blicken auch darauf, wie der „Club“ nach 1945 mit diesem Erbe umging. Der Experte: Dr. Mathias Braun ist Wissenschaftlicher Mitarbeiter im Geschäfts­bereich Kultur der Stadt Nürnberg und ist dort in der Stabsstelle „Ehemaliges Reichs­partei­tags­gelände Zeppelin­tribüne/ Zeppelinfeld“ tätig.

By 1945, a victorious Stalin had turned a poor country into a victorious superpower. Over the course of those four years, Stalin, at Churchill's insistence, accepted an Anglo-American press corps in Moscow to cover the Eastern Front. To turn these reporters into Kremlin mouthpieces, Stalin imposed the most draconian controls – unbending censorship, no visits to the battle front, and a ban on contact with ordinary citizens. The Red Hotel explores this gilded cage of the Metropol Hotel. They enjoyed lavish supplies of caviar and had their choice of young women to employ as translators and share their beds.
