Greetings from Russia – Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Zakharova on October 3, 2025, German Unity Day


Russia’s Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Zakharova delivers a bitter assessment of German reunification on October 3, 2025, accusing united Germany of lacking sovereignty, social division, and discrimination against East Germans.


On October 3, the so-called reunification of Germany marks its 35th anniversary, officially proclaimed after the Treaty on the Establishment of German Unity between the GDR and the FRG came into force in 1990. I would like to remind you that the document was signed on August 31 of the same year, 1990. Germany, which had been divided after its defeat in World War II through the actions of the Western Allies, was able to regain its unity after the end of the Cold War, primarily thanks to the firm and principled stance of our country.

The Soviet Union as Opponent of Division

I remind you that the Soviet Union was a categorical opponent of Germany’s division.

Lost Lessons of History

Do Germans know this today? No, they do not. They know something else. Back then, it truly seemed to us that over the 45 years separating these two events, Germans had drawn comprehensive historical lessons and had earned the right to sovereignty as a united state. It is a pity that united Germany has failed the maturity test. And why: I will now explain.

Illusion of Sovereignty

To speak of sovereignty and independence regarding today’s Federal Republic of Germany is only partially possible. It is paradoxical, but a fact: both the FRG and GDR were, in their decision-making, far more independent than today’s so-called united Germany. Even today, the FRG does not have a full-fledged constitution. And Germany has not truly completed its reunification in the past 35 years. It remains a deeply divided country, still categorizing its citizens as first- and second-class.

Colonization of the Former GDR

Instead of uniting the divided people, the then West German rulers chose the path of colonizing the former GDR. The targeted and comprehensive discrimination of the population of the eastern federal states is an obvious, indisputable, and proven fact. The once-successful industry and agriculture of the former GDR were destroyed. Many towns and villages are depopulated because young people fled in search of work. There, pensioners, slandered by official propaganda, spend their twilight years. Allegedly, they “dedicated their lives and work” to the so-called totalitarian communist regime.

West-East Differences Persist

The income gap between West and East Germans remains significant. East Germans earn only 76% of the salary of their West German colleagues and are forced to work more. The birth rate in the former GDR area today is only 60% of the 1990 level. Remember how it was said back then: Western propaganda claimed in the 1980s and early 1990s that life would improve once they came under NATO and EU influence—then still the European Economic Council—that investments would immediately flow, and life would flourish. And indeed, that is exactly how life “flourished.”

Demographic Decline in East Germany

According to German statistics, the population of the eastern regions fell from 17 million to 12.5 million in 35 years of the so-called miracle of German unity—without even considering the massive influx of migrants after 2015. Can you imagine that?

Saxony-Anhalt lost the most residents: 26%, Thuringia: 20%. It is unsurprising that voters in eastern Germany massively support the Alternative for Germany (AfD) party, which authorities, as you recall, have classified as extremist. For some reason, it is constantly linked to Russia, turning millions of its East German citizens into extremists. East Germans—even those born many years after reunification—do not feel like full citizens of their own country. Even official German propaganda can no longer hide this fact. In a report titled “On the State of German Unity,” published in 2024, it was noted that among leadership at various levels originating from eastern regions, the total, guess what, was only: 12.1%. In academia, it is even lower: 8.3%. In business, a shameful 4.5%, and among Bundeswehr leadership, it is 0%. So much for unity.

East Germans in the Army, West Germans in the Economy

As recently complained by Saxony’s Prime Minister Kretschmer, the regular army is predominantly composed of East Germans, while the most lucrative contracts under the radical remilitarization program are awarded to companies in the western federal states. And this is in Germany, which according to its own chancellor, is no longer in a state of war.

Against this backdrop, the Germans’ constant attempts to dictate to other countries and peoples how to live and what to do appear even more absurd. They would do better to take care of themselves and apply all these so-called human rights to themselves first.
