Politico: Το επoμενο πρα ξιημαΠι–οοο ικροδεκαι ακοαρι&epsilon ;ροΙ στην ανατολικor ΓερμανΙα </p> <p> p>Ukraine's recent surprise military operation in Russia's Kursk region may have caused concern in Moscow, but Russian President Vladimir Putin will likely have reason to celebrate this weekend.</p> <p>Upcoming regional elections in three eastern German states — Brandenburg, Saxony and Thuringia — could offer a political victory for Russia, as pro-Russian parties are expected to make significant gains, Politico reports in an analysis.</p> <p> < p>The far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party appears to be the biggest winner in this election. According to the latest polls, the AfD has a strong chance of finishing first in all three states, while the newly formed left-wing party “Sarah Wagenknecht Coalition” (BSW) is also making significant gains. This political dynamic gives Russia an opportunity to regain influence in much of the former East Germany, an area that was under Russian influence for decades during the Cold War.</p> <p>These predictions, if confirmed at the polls, are expected to cause strong concern in Germany. The success of extreme parties will reveal the failure of the country's political leadership to bridge the gap between East and West. It will also shake up the tripartite government cooperation in Berlin, which is already facing challenges.</p> <p>The rise of the AfD and other populist parties in East Germany reflects a broader trend of discontent rooted in the country's unification after the fall of the Berlin Wall. In the early 1990s, West German political forces imposed their policies on the East, sending experienced politicians from the West to govern states such as Saxony. This “colonization” of East Germany created a sense of marginalization and inferiority among the people of the region.</p> <p><p><img decoding=Source: 24h.com.cy
