With him, however, the German Empire, whose days were already numbered, recognized Soviet Russia, a young state that had only existed for a few months. And so German-Soviet relations began. After the First World War, Germany and the Russian Soviet Republic were internationally isolated. Lenin's foreign policy officers did everything they could to make a pact with Germany, and they achieved their goal in Rapallo, where a hesitant German Foreign Minister Rathenau signed a treaty he didn't actually want. He paid for it with his life. It is something other than treaties and political calculations that made Rapallo possible in the first place: the closeness and sympathy between Germans and Russians that was always evident and that even survived the atrocities of the Second World War. Maya Turovskaya, author of the Soviet film classic "Ordinary Fascism," calls the two great wars "fratricidal wars." And the German ambassador von derschulenburg, whose greatest diplomatic success, to his own chagrin, was the Hitler-Stalin pact with which the two dictators divided Europe between themselves, spoke in amazement that the Russians' love for Germany "couldn't be killed." be. The film by Artem Demenok and Andreas Christoph Schmidt tells of the eventful history of both countries and the people in them. One of the two states ceased to exist more than a quarter of a century ago. Nevertheless, it is a story that continues to have an impact today, because its images continue to have an impact. Their myths, enemy images and projections still shape how we perceive each other. A history of ideologies - their fight against each other went to the death, the extinction of the other - here racist, there political-ideologically based - was meant to be existential. It was about destruction. Then again, at other times, about coexistence: in friendly hostility - hostile friendship. Written by ADR Das Erste See less
