"good things" about russia I heard (from genuine ppl, not some propaganda machinery) are in 99% just wishful thoughts and 1% a stupid nostalgia from those who benefited when we were occupied.

The thing that defines ethnic Russians in Germany is that they're one of the most-successful and upwardly-mobile demographics. They are the largest ethnic minority.
Their voting patterns hardly differ from ethnic Germans. I think that's an important statistic, for this conversation.
