magnitude superior in all matters, well, that's not quite true, there was a structure in the german democratic republic, it was called the stasi, it's a world-famous brand today, just like its leader, markus wolf, they worked an order of magnitude better than their west german opponents, and often outstripped the british and... why am i saying all this: in our country there are a huge number of people who were somehow connected with the german democratic republic, or served there or worked, well, in many ways this is a personal story for our president vladimir putin, we remember that along the line of the first main directorate of the kgb, he worked under the appropriate cover in the german democratic republic, so nostalgia, we have nostalgia for those times, and the east germans have nostalgia for their soviet... friends, not everyone, but they do, i can say that visiting several times the garrison where i spent my childhood, my father served in the group of soviet troops in germany, and talking with the germans, many remember the russian language, and they really say: come back, we are waiting for yo

i don’t have a feeling of such greatness, that it was, but i understand that the german democratic republicit created a completely new people, which they don’t like to talk about in germany, they don’t like to talk about, they talk about the fact that the germans united, but they don’t want to talk about the fact that after all, these are two different peoples, over these 40 years , a whole formation has grown up, a whole generation of germans who evaluated their existence in a completely different way, but i absolutely do not want to... i think i have already told you about this, i could not imagine that somewhere in berlin there could be houses in which there is no central heating, but there are stoves, in one of the houses where our neighbors, germans, invited us, we saw such a creation that was in the times of the gdr, it is a bathtub that was pulled out from under... the table in the kitchen, that is, you eat there, eat, and then, when the family wants and is going to bathe, he, with one movement of his hand, the owner pulls out this bathtub on wheels, pulls out this standpipe with wat

tomorrow marks 75 years since the creation of the german democratic republic. after the fall of hitler's germany in 1945, the victors divided the country into occupation zones, soviet, american, british and french. in the soviet. on october 3, 1990 , thanks to the position of the ussr, the two germanys, the eastern and western, united, but the country still looks divided. 34 years after the reunification, we need to realize, that east and west have drifted further apart than ever before. the longed-for unity now exists only in ceremonial speeches that are ignored. in 34 years, the two germanys have come closer for a while, but have been drifting apart again for some time now. so how does the gdr still remind us of itself? from germany, our special correspondent, mikhail antonov. mario schubert sells everything made in the gdr, but he considers himself less of an entrepreneur and more of a collector. his shop - here is the first and only cosmonaut in the gdr, zygmunt jn, here is of course, yuri gagarin. mario wears an earring in the shape of two hammers, in memo

the fact that spreading nato's military infrastructure into the territory of the former german democratic republic will have utterly negative consequences and will not go unanswered. the based on question is located on the northern coast in former east german territory. the 2 plus 4 trainees signed in 1990. 1 insures that ford military should never be deployed there. berlin denies the treaty is being violated yet says the base is only hosting nato personnel from member countries like the u. k, france and poland, but not establishing a new nato base. some germans have criticized the move. tended us fairly keen. i find that completely unacceptable. nato headquarters in ross talk, there is the 2 plus 4 treaty that is common knowledge of the treaty states that no nato institutions you may be set up on the territory on the former german democratic republic. now, which is happening, the whole development of to 1991 is a disaster for the highest order. anyway, it's not research. nato is making war in front of the world because of these companies, i'm completely against all this web stuff in general, that

more than a 150 were rescued. german unity to 34 years ago, the former german democratic republic communist east germany officially joined the west. the on the 3rd of october of 1995 eastern states became part of the federal republic, and berlin was reinstated, as the capital city re unification happens. less than a year after the fall of the berlin wall in november of 1989. today, unity day is a public holiday here in germany. but decades after re unification, germany remains politically divided. the right wing populist, anti immigration, alternative for germany or a if d is on the rise, especially in the former east. the eye of the promised his life and freedom implying that germany is not a free country by positioning itself as an add to the peaceful revolution of 1999. the eye of the anglo civil rights activists like frank e, but he was in the bank. god of those who fought for freedom in east germany, back then as a civil rights activist and the communist dictatorship, he was the lot to be able to live in a democracy that's supposed to be a here and thoughts on what we have here in germ

but literally 4 years later, on may 23, 194, the german democratic republic, so germany was divided intoestern and eastern. over the next 40 years, the two countries existed in parallel, not recognizing each other and without end of competing. and on august 13, 1961 , the gdr authorities began to build the berlin wall. barriers, earthen ditches, barbed wire and electric current divided berlin for a decade not only into west and east, but also into capitalist and socialist. progress towards the long-awaited unification began only in the late eighties, at which time the ussr was rapidly losing its position in the world. the union's leadership was ready to make concessions in order to enter the new world order on equal terms. western leaders sought to obtain from mikhail gorbachev and his minister foreign affairs eduard shivardnadze agreed to the unification. representatives of the ussr, usa, france, great britain, east germany and the pension fund of germany signed a treaty on the unification of germany. the treaty required the soviet side to withdraw all troops from the eastern part of th

the gdr stood, and the berlin wall for 28 years, during this time such a creation as the german democratic republic like, it does not exist, it was not there, look at what we see now and what is happening now behind. they do not like to talk, they do not like to talk, they talk about the fact that the germans united, but they do not want to talk about the fact that after all these are two different peoples, during these 40 years a whole formation grew up, a whole generation of germans who assessed their existence in a completely different way, yes, i absolutely do not want to belittle the problems that existed and the denunciations of each other, apartments, and when we arrived in this german democratic republic, i think i have already told you about this, i could not imagine that somewhere in berlin there could be houses in which there is no central heating, and there are stoves, in one of the houses where our neighbors, the germans, invited us, we saw such a creation that was in the days of the gdr, it is a bathtub that was pulled out from under the table in the kitchen, that is, you eat there, e

the fifth article covered the territory of the federal republic only germany, well, the german democratic republicletely different state body, part of a different defense union, as, say, uh, happens with the occupied territories of ukraine, to a certain extent, but... again, even then there were options that discussed, one of the options was to provide a security guarantee along the line of contact, another option was to provide a security guarantee without the territories that are considered disputed between russia and the country, and many people were offended at me then that i called these territories disputed, but with from the point of view of the constitutional law of the two countries, whether we like it or not, these are disputed territories, it's just that russia has destroyed international law, but that does not make... the fact that the dispute is invalid, the non-existent constitution of russia is the donetsk, luhansk, kherson, zaporizhzhia regions, and the republic of crimea and sevastopol, and even if we liberate these territories by military means, they will not go anywhere accordin

well, the german democratic republic was a completely different state body, part of another defense unionhappens with the occupied territories of ukraine, to a certain extent. but, again, even then there were options that were discussed. one of the options was to provide a security guarantee along the contact line, another option was to provide a security guarantee without... with territories that are considered disputed between russia and ukraine, many people were offended at me at the time that i called these territories disputed, but from the point of view of the constitutional law of the two countries, whether we like it or not, these are disputed territories, it's just that russia destroyed international law, but this does not invalidate the fact of the dispute, the non-existent regions of the russian constitution are the donetsk, luhansk, kherson, zaporizhzhia regions and the republic of crimea and sevastopol. and even if we liberate these territories by military means, they will not go anywhere from the constitution of the russian federation, it will consider these territories occu

apologize , well, the train has already left, and the second moment, well, okay, then the german democratic republic40 years, but let's remember what it was under control, it was under the control of the ussr, which was an ally of the usa and britain, who was the winner of the second world war, that is, there the nazis did not take aim, yes, that is, it was not the aggressor, the nazis paid off and decided not to finish them off, no, the aggressor, the one who started the second world war, and together with the ussr, but still for the west. europe's key aggressor was nazi germany, they finished him off, that is, they decided to finish him off, and now they are offering us, let's leave the russian aggressor alone, under his control. let's leave part of the territory of ukraine and continue to live with it, yes, culturally, what you have already started talking about, what do they want, how about this conditional division of ukraine to be settled by someone, this the same concept with crimea was offered to us, let's wait there for 30-40 years, and then we will see how people will vote, we are now talk

krens took over east germany immediately after erich honecker, already at the end of the german democratic republic a turning point in the history of europe, and the gdr will stand by the soviet union to work together to ensure that there are no more wars in europe. i think about the help of soviet friends. without the soviet union, the gdr could not exist. i think a lot about how much russian, soviet friends did for the gdr. in the east, almost everything from sneakers and jeans to tvs and refrigerators, who doesn't remember the gdr furniture walls. mason porcelain, zeiss optics, in exchange for oil, gas, metals, the gdr supplies the soviet union with sea-going river vessels, locomotives and rolling stock, large and small. wonderful feelings, a set, a locomotive, rails and several carriages in the soviet. union cost about 50 rubles. but it was the dream of every soviet boy. made with great attention to detail, these little trains, the attention of dads, could also capture for a long time, bought somewhere in the early eighties, they are still alive. i think that people are interested in the gdr, b

not very relevant, since there were two separate states and the gdr, the german well democratic, people's democratic the republic, yes, it, it was actually recognized including by nato countries, that is what is the paradox of the situation, i.e. the athletes of this country took part in all competitions there, it had diplomatic missions there and so on, so, on the one hand, it ... you should really pay attention to the fact that this topic has become more active, and it is not only stoltenberg, there are many different scenarios appearing in various western publications, i would say more than once that this is absolutely not a new story, similar scenarios are are considered since the second half of the 22nd year, only it was in specialized publications, analytical, expert, er, political science, yes, and now it just came out in the popular media in such a way to the general public, because it has clearly already passed a certain test in the expert . now they also look and measure there public opinion and attitude to all this and so on. for ukraine, it is more possible as an option with japan, if parallels are a

caused by the state of german politics, that is, it is known that the social democrats performed very poorly in the last local elections, and well, this is specific. and the federal republicrmany, precisely these lands took place in the eastern lands, the elections, more precisely, took place in the eastern lands, and the social democrats did not have the best positions there, in they are in the good old frg in a wonderful position, so i would not say that the social democrats feel bad at all , but still giving way to an alternative for germany is unworthy of a good old authoritative party, and in fact it seems to me that just this the attack was organized by moscow in order to hint to scholz that if you start making friends with moscow and your voter will return to you, this is a moscow provocation, because from the point of view of germany's interest, any contact with putin. does not bring good to any political forces, well, except for the alternative for germany, even such a new star of german politics, sara wagent necht, who created her own left-wing party, she is now disowning herself from any contacts with putin, that is, this throw, i think that it was a certain pa
