Among the Russian minorities in Germany, the so-called forced residents play a special role. In terms of nationality, they are German. 240 years ago, Russian Tsar Katrina I placed a large number of German immigrants in the Volga region, and the wind and water turned around. Since the 1980s, the descendants of these German immigrants once again set foot on German soil. 1990 after the disintegration of the Soviet union, there were 2.5 million so-called "post-forced residents" in Germany. It turns out that many of these people still maintain their own culture and language habits after several generations and are regarded as Germans in Russia. However, under the compulsory naturalization policy in Stalin's era, this tradition disappeared. Now, most descendants of former Germans from Russia and their families can't speak a word of German.
According to official German statistics, there are 297 106 citizens from the former Soviet Union in Germany, of whom 1 16003 are from Russia * * * and the Republic of China. If the mother tongue is taken as the statistical standard, and the so-called forced residents are added, the number of these people has already surpassed that of Turks in Germany. Turkish speakers are the largest minority in Germany. According to statistics, there are about 2 million Turks in Germany.
