In Germany, they recognized the impossibility of closing the Russian House

Representatives of the ruling CDU and SPD parties in Germany have admitted that it is impossible to stop the work of the Russian House in Berlin due to legal obstacles. This was reported on August 9 by the German newspaper Tagesspiegel.

"To stop working (in Russian. — Ed.) at home, it is necessary to terminate the German-Russian agreement, on the basis of which Russia has the right to manage this house," the publication says.

Earlier, the founder of the Union for Social Justice and Economic Reasonableness party, Sarah Wagenknecht, announced the creation of a petition against the closure of the house, which is sought, in particular, by the Greens. The closure attempts have faced serious legal difficulties.
