The Richard Löwenthal Lectures are a series of annual public lectures given by renowned scholars on Eastern Europe and the post-Soviet space at the Institute for East European Studies. Richard Löwenthal (1908-1991) was a political scientist and professor at the Freie Universität Berlin from 1961-1974. He was a socialist who was involved in the resistance against the Nazis and, after returning from exile, carried out research on totalitarianism, National Socialism and the politics in Eastern Europe.
