Kind of weird, i am half Russian and have German. My mother's father fought for the Nazi party and my Fathers father and mother fled the soviet union.
German grandfather admits that everything in American history books about the nazi's is a lie. Says that he hates jews more than he did in Germany.
Russian grandfather said that from his point of view, the soviets were worse than the nazi's with a lot of things. They have told me countless of stories but sadly they both passed away.
Ask me specifics if you'd like, i'll try to answer as best as possible from the stories they have told me :)
What do your parents think of Putin/Merkel?

Hate Merkel love Putin. Both of them.
They aren't really left wing and never have been. My mother especially has a hate for Merkel.

To follow up with that, when she speaks about politics with friends she normally speaks in German.
As a kid, they never taught me German or Russian for that matter, thus i cannot understand anything when she talks in German or when my father talks in Russian. Really kind of a bummer.

That seems to be the case for the most euro transplant families, weird. Do you celebrate on 25th of December or 31st?

I guess your parents really wanted you to be a Real American.
A shame that they like Putin though

Why is it a shame?
SO your paternal family is Russian and your maternal family is German
How did they meet and did your maternal grandmother get raped by the soviets

Because he is nothing but a thieving communist thug that pretends to be the second coming of Peter the Great

I wish I had the 120% one from that one time putin's polls added up to 120% voting
>>137416006
it was actually 146%
>>137416396
LOL
I mean I can see why actual Russians don't like the guy but from an outsider's perspective such as Americans or Euros in their complete cucked societies you gotta see why Putin is a fairly popular figure
