How millions of Russian Germans live in Germany

Since the late 1980s, more than two million people have moved to Germany-the so-called Russian Germans. In the historical homeland, they are far from always considered their own. The Special Corps of Medusa Konstantin Benyumov went to Germany to find out how the Russian Germans actually relate to their old new homeland , and she - to them.

Until the perestroika, the emigration of the Germans continued to remain Nemassova. Everything was changed not only by the collapse of the Soviet Union and negotiations on the restoration of autonomy in the Volga region, which Mikhail Gorbachev led with the German authorities, but also the activity of the new Chancellor Helmut Kolya to return former compatriots to his homeland. In 1988, he presented the government with a program of their resettlement, saying that Russian Germans "still feel the consequences of World War II."

On May 27, Filimonov spent his last match, in connection with which we remembered the most striking moments of his career - from the Seves for Spartak in the Champions League to victory at the World Beach Football Championship. And, of course, the same goal from Andrei Shevchenko in 1999.
