Right,

i could understand why so many German- Russians are
in the south from Germany if you would take the history and
connect it with Prussia. The only thing that makes sense;D.

Unfortunately i don’t know the exact numbers. I can say many russian-speakers live in the south-western areas of Germany like Trier, Bitburg and Koblenz. Their community in these cities is very large, whereas in Koblenz you can always hear russian speech on the streets, bars and so on, and in Trier with its proportion of around 8-10 % of “Russlanddeutschen” to the whole population there are as well many rusian-speakers from ex-soviet countries who come to Trier either to study or as au-pairs.
Unfortunately, i heard some bad stories from people about “Russen” like behavioring bad or being mad at discos, parties and just schools, but some people’s prejudice against “Turken” i think is bigger..

Haha, no problem at all. I was asking for a reason: How large is the ‘Russlanddeutsche’ community down there? I am from Berlin, but have been living in London for some years now. You see that one might get completely different perceptions of the issue when comparing Marzahn to say the Black Forest.

hi Ben. I live in Stuttgart since October last year. Before I had been living in Trier for more than 2 yrs. What about you?
I hope it’s not a problem to have a short personal correspondence on this blog? :)

Thanks for your comment DW. Fortunately, it is true what you say, i.e. that there are many success stories. After all, almost 2.5 million people came from the FSU and it would be a disaster if integration hadn’t worked with any of them. I would stress that in places where it is already difficult for the local community to make ends meet (like in Berlin-Marzahn), large waves of immigrations complicate the situation on the labour market and make it difficult for the newly-arrived to get a footing. Where, if I may ask, are you based in Germany?

i live in Germany for 3 years: i CAN’T say germany is boring!! you have many places to visit just in or around the city it doesn’t matter if it’s a small town or big city! moreover there are so many possibilities to travel within Germany or Europe: cheap flights, “mitfahr”, railway special offers, whatever but plz “boring”?? i came to germany 3 yrs ago without knowing german, now i speak it fluently, it’s true.
The thing is whether someone’s trying to integrate into society or not, if someone’s interested in getting some chances in career, better life, etc or not. I know some emmigrants from KZ who’ve been living here in germany for more than 8 or 10 yrs, many of them have now very nice jobs with good perspectives, meanwhile others recieve “sozialhilfe” (like governmental allowance) and are unemployed. I agree it’s more complicated to get job if you’re foreigner, but anyway you always have chances. my friends have got jobs, they like their lifes in germany. so do I.
