Hundreds of German civil servants working in the education and cultural sectors will need to leave Russia following a request by Moscow, a German government source told AFP Saturday.

It follows a decision by the Russian authorities to force Germany to slash its diplomatic staff and presence at public institutions such as the Goethe Institute cultural organization and the German school in Moscow by the beginning of June, the source said.

  1. No big deal. Mafia land, under the current fascist mafia gang, has no need for either culture or education. All it needs is meat puppets to die in its criminal war.

  2. I can’t imagine ANY useful reason for why an employee of Germany’s government would have been there before the war, except for ambassadors, embassy staff, or Germans seeking a russian vacation resort. After the war’s, no reason seems legitimate.

    I smell hints of corruption on both sides.
