is it just me who doesn´t think this way? how can the writer of this report assume that a film about 1945 can have an affect on current russian german relations?
Don’t underestimate the power of little things to change relations between states, I’m not saying this movie will cause some sort of international incident, it probably won’t, but given the somewhat paranoid state of official Russian policy making these days it’s not inconceivable that it could have a political effect.
The Latvians recently moved one memorial tablet to the Red Army to a different area of their capital city (remember for the Latvians the Red Army was a invading army of conquest and occupation) and this almost sent the Russians into a state of apoplexy.
