The grandson of the first Chancellor of the German Empire, Alexander von Bismarck, spoke about the interest of German residents in Russia.
According to him, Russia has strong soft power.
“Despite the efforts of politicians and the media to smear Russia, the German people are still very interested in it. Believe me, I know what I am talking about. Every time I return home from Russia, friends and acquaintances constantly ask me various questions,” RIA Novosti quoted him as saying.
In October 2025, a descendant of Bismarck traveled from Germany to Russia to attend the 20th anniversary of RT.
