"It seems to me that the age-old superstition that wealth brings happiness is beginning to dissolve." Well, Leo Tolstoy once said that, although he passed away seven years before the start of the Soviet Union. Nikita Miller is sure of one thing: If that guy had lived a little longer, he definitely wouldn't have said that.

When Nikita came to Germany from Ukraine with his parents at the age of five, he realized over the years: a person may leave the Soviet Union, but the Soviet Union never truly leaves the person. No wonder Nikita's grandpa, after years of diligently copying words from the Duden dictionary, still doesn't speak a word of German today.

The expectations of the West were high, the possibilities seemed endless. However, Nikita Miller has come to understand: Being caught between two cultures is terribly exhausting. The family pulling from one side, the new life from the other. So, he diligently tinkered in his laboratory of thoughts, mixing things together here and there, taking something out there, and sprinkling a bit of glitz on top.

He blended the best of German and Soviet, learning to love and appreciate both cultures with all their beauty and diversity, with all their quirks and inconveniences. Because let's face it: cultures are not that different after all. Pelmeni are just little dumplings after all.

Nikita Miller - Im Westen viel Neues

"It seems to me that the age-old superstition that wealth brings happiness seems to be dissolving." Well, that's what Leo Tolstoy once said, who, however, kicked the bucket seven years before the start of the Soviet Union. Nikita Miller is convinced: If that guy had lived a little longer, he definitely wouldn't have said that.

When Nikita came to Germany from Ukraine with his parents at the age of five, he had to realize over the years: a person may be able to leave the Soviet Union, but the Soviet Union can never leave the person. No wonder Nikita's grandpa, after years of rigorous copying from the Duden, still doesn't speak a word of German today.

The expectations of the West were high, the opportunities seemed endless. But Nikita Miller has understood: Sitting between two cultures is terribly exhausting. The family pulls on one side, the new life on the other. So he diligently tinkered in his thought laboratory, mixing things together here and there, taking things out there, and sprinkling a bit of glitter over it.

He has mixed the best of German and Soviet and learned to love and appreciate both cultures with all their beauty and diversity, with all their quirks and inconveniences. Because we all have to admit at some point: the cultures are not so different after all. Pelmeni are just little dumplings.

Nikita Miller: Es war einmal im Nirgendwo

Nikita Miller: Es war einmal im Nirgendwo

"In the Soviet Union, we were the Germans; in Germany, we are the Russians" - these words of his grandmother have been etched in Nikita Miller's memory like a Soviet stamp on a deportation order. His grandma would still swear today that a little glass of vodka with pepper can solve all problems - from a cold to an identity crisis. But it's not that simple after all.

When Nikita got expelled from high school in the 90s for allegedly being "too Russian" for Schiller, he had no idea that this very tornness between cultures would one day become his greatest treasure. Between German sandwiches and Russian pierogi, between the secondary school yard and the stories of his grandma who was deported to Kazakhstan, he found his own way.

Today, while the world is once again upside down, Miller digs deep into his family history and finds remarkable parallels to the present. He wants to know: What actually makes us who we are? The genes of our ancestors? The place where our ID card was issued? Or maybe the fact that we were the only ones in class who knew how to pronounce "Dostoevsky" correctly?

With the precision of a German master watchmaker and the soul of a Russian poet, Miller takes his audience on a journey through times and cultures. Because in the end, it's like a good borscht - only the mix makes it interesting. And sometimes, an identity crisis is needed to find out who you really are.

»Authentic and charismatic, funny and exciting, philosophical and profound (...) A master - a young old master of storytelling, which he rejuvenates.«

"It seems to me that the ancient superstition that wealth grants happiness seems to be dissolving." Well, Leo Tolstoy once said that, who, however, passed away seven years before the start of the Soviet Union. Nikita Miller is sure of one thing: If that guy had lived a little longer, he definitely wouldn't have said that.

When Nikita came to Germany with his parents from Ukraine at the age of five, he realized over the years: While a person can maybe leave the Soviet Union, the Soviet Union never leaves the person. No wonder Nikita's grandpa, after years of rigorous copying from the dictionary, still doesn't speak a word of German today.

The expectations of the West were high, the possibilities seemed endless. But Nikita Miller has understood: Sitting between two cultures is terribly exhausting. The family pulls on one side, the new life on the other. So, he diligently tinkered in his thought laboratory, mixed some things here and there, took some things from there, and sprinkled some glitter on top.

He has mixed the best of German and Soviet culture and learned to love and appreciate both cultures with all their beauty and diversity, with all their quirks and inconveniences. Because, let's face it: The cultures aren't so different after all. Pelmeni are just small dumplings too.
