The newspaper article presents an episode from Dmytro Chyzhevskyi's professional biography. According to the author, in 1945 Chyzhevskyi was to take up the position of contract professor at the Department of Slavic Studies at the University of Marburg, but this department was suddenly moved to Frankfurt. Despite appeals from students to keep the department in Marburg, the Minister of Hesse questioned Chyzhevskyi's academic qualifications. In his own article in the Frankfurter Rundschau newspaper, Minister Stein accused him of collaborating with Soviet officials. According to the author of the publication, the conflict was caused by the desire to remove Chyzhevskyi as a «foreigner» and replace him with a German specialist.
