Andrea Ucini / Cicero Magazine / Blackout. The Return of German Left-Wing Terrorism

For the September issue of Cicero Magazine, illustrator Andrea Ucini created a striking editorial cover illustration exploring the return of German left-wing terrorism and the enduring legacy of the Red Army Faction (RAF).

Although the RAF officially disbanded in 1998, its revolutionary rhetoric continues to resonate. Today, far-left extremist groups have targeted critical infrastructure and, in some cases, justified violence as a means of achieving political change.

In Cicero’s cover story, RAF expert Butz Peters examines the parallels and differences between the historical Red Army Faction and contemporary far-left extremism in Germany.

A powerful illustration by Andrea Ucini for an important and timely political story.
