Chapter 3: Russians
Russians drink vodka only in three cases: When they are sad, when they are happy, and just because.

I call all those who arrived from our regions “Russians.” These include Russians, Ukrainians, Jews, Moldovans, Russians from Kazakhstan who think they are Germans. Over time, I began to feel a huge difference between us and the Russians. On foreign soil, this is felt especially sharply. The latter, in the majority, are distinguished by extraordinary stupidity and total illiteracy. I am speaking specifically about the “Koza-Deutsche.” Let them not be offended—perhaps my not entirely unfounded criticism will help them become something more.
Most other immigrants have achieved nothing in Germany either. Just as they were unsuccessful in their homeland, they remained so here. All of them maintain contact with their homeland only to boast to former compatriots about their Mercedes, bought with social assistance from the German state. I am writing about the majority. The main problem of Russians in Germany is that they left there, but never truly arrived here. They remained in the 1990s, frozen in the moment when they left their homeland. This happened because they were unable to integrate. First—they didn’t want to. Second—Germans are reluctant to interact with them because of a huge difference in the understanding of life and death, that is, in mentality. I want to note that our mentality is many times stronger and more viable. We will return to this later.
Russians work illegally (off the books), steal, try not to pay taxes—and they succeed. But after five years, a letter arrives from the Finanzamt (the tax office) with a modest fine of five thousand euros. After that, they stop stealing and return to “Hartz IV” (social welfare) and stay on it until old age. As a rule, they are uneducated, know neither their own history nor German history. Their Soviet education is of no interest to anyone here. Some doctors barely manage to have their diplomas recognized and end up working as general practitioners, issuing fake sick notes.
Russian women immediately catch the “radical feminism” virus and begin to humiliate their men, dominate them, and behave rudely. Because of this social paradox, many Russian families fall apart. Those families where the woman was always the head and the man obedient live just fine in Germany.
