You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 3.85.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 21:48, 22 February 2026.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Katja Petrowskaja''' (((lang-ru|link=no|Екатерина Мироновна Петровськая)), ((lang-uk|Катерина Миронівна Петровська)); born 3 February 1970) is a Kyiv born German prose writer and journalist.

==Biography==
She grew up as Kateryna in Kyiv and, after the [[Chernobyl disaster]], in Moscow as the younger daughter of professor of literature [[Miron Petrovsky]] and the teacher Svetlana. Her brother is the historian [[Yohanan Petrovsky-Shtern]].

She studied literature and Slavic studies at the [[University of Tartu]], where she was particularly influenced by the semiotician [[Juri Lotman]]. In 1994–1995 she studied with a scholarship offered by the American Council of Teachers of Russian (ACTR) at [[Stanford University]] and [[Columbia University]]. In 1998 she defended her dissertation ''The poetical prose of [[Vladislav Felitsianovich Khodasevich|Vladislav Khodasevich]]'' at the [[Russian State University for the Humanities]] in Moscow. In 1999 she moved to Germany where she lives with her husband and two daughters in Berlin.

==Literary work==
After writing for Russian newspapers, she started to publish in the German language newspapers [[Neue Zürcher Zeitung]], and [[Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung]]. In 2010 she received a Robert Bosch fellowship for work towards publishing them as a book, with the working title ''Maybe Esther''. In 2013 she received the Ingeborg-Bachmann-Preis for excerpts of chapter 5 of the book. ''Maybe Esther,'' finally published in 2014, tells the story of the genocide of the Jewish population of Kiev, culminating in the massacre of [[Babi Yar]] on 29–30 September, through the account by Esther, who resembles her great-grandmother Esther, killed during the massacre. The book has been translated into more than 20 languages. Petrowskaja's major works are:
