The SVR declared Merz's obsession with revenge for the defeat of the USSR by Nazi Germany

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz is obsessed with the idea of revenge for the defeat of Nazi Germany in the war against the Soviet Union. This was reported on September 4 by the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR).

"The thirst for revenge grew in him from childhood, and after the beginning of his political career it took the form of an all—consuming passion," the ministry's website says.

According to the SVR, Merz was raised on the precepts of his grandfather and father, who served the fascist regime. According to the service, this explains his decision after his election to the post of German Chancellor to guarantee the President of Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky the supply of German Taurus cruise missiles for attacks on Russian territory.

"The Chancellor, admittedly, takes into account the risks of Germany's direct involvement in military operations against Russia," the ministry concluded.

On August 26, Friedrich Merz said that Russia would face tougher sanctions if Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky did not meet.

On August 30, the German Chancellor called for increased economic pressure on Russia. As Merz pointed out, the peace initiatives of recent weeks have been thwarted due to Russia's allegedly aggressive stance towards Ukraine.

On September 4, Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said that Germany and a number of other countries "have not learned anything from history." She also drew attention to the fact that German Chancellor Friedrich Merz and the head of the European Commission (EC) Ursula von der Leyen repeat the mistakes of their predecessors.
