Thank you. Modern slavery is real and is happening all across the world, including Europe and Russia.

https://regnum.ru/news/2456121.htmlThere is a good number of sources... Just look for "Germany, migrants-slaves".
I cannot say anything about the Russian and Ukrainian articles as I, unfortunately, do not speak any Russian. To the articles by Reuters and DW I can only say: have you actually read these articles or did you just post them because their headline seems to confirm your hypothesis of "Merkel holdings its pool of migrant-slaves"?! If you would have read the articles carefully, then you would have not posted them. While the Reuters article is just a report on Marine Le Pen accusing Merkel on some stuff without giving any reason, the DW article even explicitly states that "slavery" as it sadly still occurs today is illegal also in Germany and that our crime office - the BKA - even actively tries to fight it. We are talking here mainly about two forms modern slavery. First, human trafficking where workers or women are blackmailed and threatened or the criminials make false promises to them to lure them into Germany. It is not like that Germany supports this stuff. It is a crime and actively fought! The second form is the "working slavery" where people are forced to work under inhuman conditions in other countries. The problem is that (German) companies might foster this if they just care for their profit and try to produce outside Germany as cheaply as possible. But saying that this is a "German phenomenon", i.e. that only German companies do this or that it is particularly prominent among German companies, is a joke! Probably, it is even much worse in other countries. Probably, in Russia it is even worse. At least, the Global Slavery Index - https://www.globalslaveryindex.org/ - suggests that you might want to look at your own faults first before pointing at someone else, huh?!
Of course, also Germany needs to do more about it. Currenty, our government plans to introduce a "Supply chain law" which requires companies to make sure that their pre-products supplied by foreign companies have been produced with sufficiently high labor and environmental standards. I am not sure how effective this law will be and there might be other effective ways but it might be a start.
Oh, and when we are already at making recommendations for Google searches. How about you google "turkish professors germany" or something similar?! Then, there might come up quickly a couple of names which show that your "glass ceiling" is somewhat incorrect. We could argue whether they are adequately represented in Germany, definitely. But your generality is on no point legitimate!
https://youtu.be/7dnkn-MvM3UIn this video this woman has a very selective indignation🙂
Sadly violation of human rights exists also in some west countries. Is it a reason to ignore those made by the Putin system that are surely worse? Is it also a reason to consider Navalny as a nasty guy. Personaly I will not say that Assange is a coward because Navalny is in jail. A free press and ways of information are essential to denounce all the bad practices and to impeach the governments of all the planet to think they can do what they want but in Russia all the medias are under control. May be if Navalny reach the power he could be as corrupted as his predecessors but for the moment he is a possibility of alternative. I can only admire his courage.
Do you know Navalny personally?https://youtu.be/7dnkn-MvM3UIn this video this woman has a very selective indignation🙂

Can you read, speak and understand Russian?
Have you ever talked or communicated with Navalny?
You are writing as if he is your best friend or soul mate. 😉
No I have not the honor to know Navalny personally and you do you know Putin personally? As I said I only admire the courage but I’m not sure what he could became if he takes the power. I don’t think also that this woman on the video know enough Navalny to say such words. I don't know also the russian language. I only take note on the more varied as possibly news and watch the documentaries about the events happened some time ago when it’s possible to reflect far from the passions. I’ m obliged to notice that positive things about Putin are very rare among a lot of articles and videos. Despite big suspicions Putin was never directly found responsible for a succession of crimes, poisoning disappearances, suicides, exiles, menaces and arbitrary imprisonments but amazingly all these events always benefit him. For the moment it’s difficult to attribute such horrors to Navalny.

We can compare these sources, exchange our opinions, but we will probably never become any closer to the real situation...
Can you speak more of the Navalny affair according to your “ source” ? Is it a crime or only a simulation or a setup from the CIA? Did the German health services lie when they say they found novitchoc in the body of Navalny?I don't know anything about his poisoning, I have never researched this kind of information. I just followed his interviews in Russian and he did not sound really persuasive, confident or honest. Gorby sounded persuasive and honest, Nemtzov sounded persuasive and sincere, Navalny has never looked like a frank, sincere, honest and strong person. 🙁
I read that Russia is a good place to retire.There are no good or bad places to retire, everything depends on the person's desire to create positive atmosphere and attitudes around themselves, build up kind and warm relationships with people, a desire to follow their beliefs and ideals, don't hurt their nearest and dearest and people with whom they communicate, people themselves make their own luck, lives and fortune...
I see that you don’t try to inform yourself about the actualities of your own country. In our country if a leader of the opposition was poisoned that surely make a lot of noise. I note you like the opponents of Putin when they are inoffensive or dead. You appreciate Nemtsov , yet he was one of the first to be eliminated by Putin. With this assassination your president showed that nobody is untouchable for him. Daring criticize his power is like having a target in the back. Since the presidency of Putin, murder’s sponsors were never caught. I suppose as an “apparatchik” of the Putin’s system you have surely no interest to see the things changing and don’t want to know. Navalny doesn’t appear you as frank and sincere? Yet ye says clearly what he thinks . He is not honest? What about the shenanigans of your president?

In the USSR an apparatchik was an employee who worked for the communist party, of course these persons had advantages that that didn’t know the other citizens. Their standard of life was better in exchange of blind dedication. You remind me of them. May be you have another definition?

I wish I would be somebody like you have just described. Or, maybe, this girl from "Red Sparrow". Or, this girl from "Anna".

It could be such an interesting life experience. :-D
But, unfortunatelly, not.
I am just probably a too much patriotic person with really non-standard ideas... I am probably freaky weird. 😉
The curiosity pushed me to watch this movie: Red sparrow. Did you really see it? Frankly, it’s not very flattering for Russian government. All the human baseness perpetrated by your system are clearly mentioned there: It’s sordid. Humiliation rape torture murder, threat or manipulation, it’s what you must endure to be a woman like that. Only the more psychopath persons can survive in this middle. So that would be your ideal of life to be like that? To be a sparrow to spy or kill for Putin. Yet the heroin was not really volunteer for this very exiting job but subjected to an odious blackmail. At the end of the movie she chooses to stay in Russia after having her revenge against her own uncle who pushed her in this Hell and so to fight against this corrupted system.

It is like western people's stubborn belief that we drink vodka every single day, play the balalaika and hug bears on the Red Square! Once a Chinese guy even asked me if I drink vodka instead of tea. It is soo funny! Just imagine! I am 30 y.o. and I have never ever ever tried vodka! I cannot imagine what it tastes like! And I think that I will never be able to take a gulp of vodka because this alcohol is too cheap and unpleasant for me. I was born in Russia and have been living over there for 30 years and I cannot understand why you, western guys, being so intelligent and smart, proceed imagining the Russian Federation as an icy cold and evil country where professional ballet dancers can become spies! Guys, it is just ridiculous! If the girl is a ballerina, she instantly becomes world-famous, she is just like your Oprah Winfrey! Can you imagine Oprah as a spy? And if this girl spent all of her life doing ballet, she would be useless in communication with people and it is incurable because she wasted 20 years of her life as a minimum for practicing the same physical exercises, since her early childhood! She did not communicate with people at all, she doesn't know how to build up relationships with people, she can only do fouette and leg-splits! Have a look at our Volochkova, she frequently behaves as a bimbo or just an idiot! Not because she is really a stupid person, but only because her childhood, youth and adolescence were dedicated to doing fouette and leg-splits for 8 hours every single day! She doesn't even know how to react on provocative questions sometimes, when it is necessary to be patient and when she should not test her patience and tell everything what she thinks! Guys, please, look, in order to be a professional spy, a person needs to be born a spy, to have some inborn talents and skills which should progress when they become an adult that's why this person certainly should have appropriate nurture and nature! It is not ready-made, it is impossible to get such skills making them as hot cakes, guys! Please, grow up and do not imagine such kinds of movies as thrillers, they are just comedies and love-stories for youngsters in the puberty period!
For you Red sparrow is a comic movie hilarious and funny. I have personally another idea of humor. If this movie is a so bad example why did you advise it? You give yourself a bad picture of your country. A lot of people could do horrible things if the good way of blackmail is found even for a professional ballet dancer. Could you indicate a good movie where the Russian secret service are not considered as gangsters?
So it’s a receive idea that Russia has a criminal government. Like Russians drinking vodka or playing balalaika or hugging bears. Yet the elimination of opponents is a reality in your country since a long time. I remember when I was as you said a youngster in the end of the seventies. Some persons were shouting how it’s scandalous these accusations against the communist world while this wonderful philosophy was made for the happiness of people. When these regimes fall down the reality showed that it was worse than we thought. The KGB has become FSB but the methods seem being the same and your president is a pure product of this well-known institution.
