Abstract
The second part of the translation of the interview, which was taken in October 2020 from the German historian Dr. Markus Böiсk by the YouTube blogger Ole Nymoen on the channel "Wohlstand für alle", is presented to the attention of readers. In the second part of the interview, there is a discussion of corruption scandals related to the work of the Treuhandanstalt, an organization for managing the privatization of East German enterprises. M. Böiсk demonstrates all possible positions from different points of view, different participants and witnesses of those events. Such a multi-level and multi-sided view of a scandalous and controversial historical topic may prove to be suitable material for future philosophical and methodological research concerning the ethical assessment of historical events and political decisions.
