west. the berlin wall came down this year's celebration is taking place where political leaders are working. there has been thousands of cultural and entertainment events taking place. reporter: berlin on the third of october, 1990, when two germany became one again. it was the soviet leader policy that brought about german reunification. the fall of the war marked -- the wall marked a new chapter in new era of appeasement between east and west, russia and europe. 32 years later, the war in ukraine has changed the relationship. germany has imposed sanctions on russia and is sending heavy weapons to fight russian soldiers. ordinary german attitudes towards russia have changed. >> my mind has changed. i had not expected russia to act with as much brutality as it has on. >> i had a good image. current russian politics are not ok. >> reunification has to be seen in a different light. reporter: while many germans support the policy, there are dierences in opinion. a recent study shows satisfaction with reaction to the invasion of ukraine is lower and use them the west. when it comes to specific

you know, i watched a very interesting documentary, where people from east and west berlin shared theirpeople from east berlin more hmm warmly perceived the time when berlin itself was still divided by the berlin wall, what did they get then? how they lived their level their level of education. everything was available to them then and how germany changed with the advent of how it actually fell under the total american occupation, under which it is now, but no one officially talks about it. yes , i would like to add here. the fact is that not only the nazis were taken to america, the frg itself, in a huge part, amnestied the employees of the ussr who made up the backbone of the special services in the federal republic of germany and when the impoverishment of two germanys occurred, the first thing that was done it's completely cleaned. uh, the secret services of the gdr, that is, cleaned out, at best, people were fired. it's interesting that all these things, when you start to disassemble them, you put them together, it's all in the details, you understand? in principle, a picture of th

help but remember that at six-two kennedy was sure that if he hit the cube, khrushchev would hit west berlinlmost like in a game. who will blink first, but as kissinger writes, america is great because it was able to put the faith above its own experience. and in this context, it is irrational for biden to think about europe, it can be sacrificed to protect the first place in the world system. that is, as putin goes to valdai and explains behind his arrogance, the europeans did not notice that they had become vassals without the right to vote, in other words, marshal's plans for the restoration of europe gave money not so that the europeans lived better, but so that they would be a single barrier in the cold war against moscow and in the system of superpowers - this worked, but now it is more important to see what the europeans prefer. seeing with all the statements about the unity of solidarity against the russian threat, they already have their own multipolarity within the eu, there is no other way to explain it. why does poland demand one and a half trillion reparations from germany for w
