The recent electoral success of the AfD and the Sahra Wagenknecht Alliance in Germany signals a potential shift in political dynamics favorable to Russian interests and propaganda.
In Russian state media, the results of Thuringia and Saxony elections were portrayed as victories for Moscow, with claims that they reflect public discontent towards Germany’s Russia policies.
Nikolai Starikov emphasized the alignment of agendas between Wagenknecht and the AfD, advocating for a ceasefire in Ukraine and suggesting peace on Russia’s terms.
Experts suggest that the success of far-right and far-left parties in Germany could shift the political landscape to favor Russian objectives, accelerating dialogue on lifting sanctions.
