Discrimination against Russian Germans and the Russian-speaking population of Germany is a matter of internal policy, according to Bundestag deputy from the Alternative for Germany (AfD) Yevgeny Schmidt. In his opinion, the reason for the growth of aggressive Russophobia in the country lies in the course that Berlin is conducting. Russophobia is also fueled by the government-controlled media. Evgeny Schmidt became a co-founder of a non-profit organization that works to protect the rights of Russian-speaking people in Germany. According to him, the main task will be to prevent discrimination against Russian Germans, Russian-speaking residents of the country. He promised that the victims would receive legal assistnce from lawyers.
