Isolarii, stylized as isolarii, is an avant-garde media company founded by Sebastian Clark with India Ennenga. Launched in September 2020, the company is known for its political activity and its unique palm-sized book format. [1]
In November 2020, Isolarii garnered attention with the publication of F Letter: New Russian Feminist Poetry, which emerged as a symbol for anti-government protests in Russia. [2]
In 2021, Isolarii released Street Cop, a collaborative work by Robert Coover and Art Spiegelman. The release received acclaim from NPR , and was described by The New York Times as a "palm-sized lark." [3]
In 2022, "The War Diary of Yevgenia Belorusets" marked Isolarii's debut in digital reportage. Co-published with Der Spiegel, it was translated daily into various languages. It was adapted into a podcast episode for This American Life [4] and, on March 3, 2023, was cited by German Chancellor Olaf Scholz when announcing changes to Germany's military support for Ukraine. It was later published in print as part of the volume In The Face of War. As an afterword, photographer Nan Goldin officiated a marriage between artists Nikita Kadan and Anti Gonna. [5]
Dominick Ammirati wrote in Artforum that “the press has succeeded at imbuing the book form with the psychophysical qualities of a mala, a rosary, kombolói, a smartphone—objects that you pick up and feel almost anxious letting go of.” [1]
Isolarii has described by Hans Ulrich Obrist as an “ingenious book club.” [6]
In 2023, Isolarii faced criticism from former Fox News correspondent Tucker Carlson. [6]

Germany–Israel relations are the diplomatic relationship between the Federal Republic of Germany and the State of Israel. After the end of World War II and the Holocaust, relations gradually thawed as West Germany offered to pay reparations to Israel in 1952 and diplomatic relations were officially established in 1965. Nonetheless, a deep mistrust of the German people remained widespread in Israel and the Jewish diaspora communities worldwide for many years after. Relations between East Germany and Israel never materialised. Israel and Germany now maintain a "special relationship" based on shared beliefs, Western values, and a combination of historical perspectives. Among the most important factors in their relations is Nazi Germany's genocide of Jews in Europe during the Holocaust.
