BSW MPs: Looking for a partner in the Kremlin

It's convenient to have friends abroad. They can then provide you with things that an inexperienced tourist cannot easily get their hands on. For example, tickets for the Bolshoi Theater in Moscow. During his visit last year, BSW MEP Michael von derschulenburg wanted to see a performance of the ballet Shurale. Luckily, he knew someone who got him the tickets - albeit someone whose help represented a huge risk to him.

In any case, the politician seems to feel so welcome in Moscow by the Wagenknecht party, which is now known as the Alliance for Social Justice and Economic Reason, that he came back last June. This time too, he was accompanied by his BSW European colleague Ruth Firmenich and the Russia lobbyist Alexander von Bismarck. He immediately told a Russian news portal how much he appreciated the ice cream in the GUM shopping center on Red Square. Culture and cuisine are actually not the motive for the visits.
