In this interview, Olga Petersen, a former AfD member of the Hamburg Parliament, recounts her escape from Germany to Russia. The focus is on how a democratically elected representative was forced by political pressure, media smear campaigns, and the manipulation of state institutions such as the youth welfare office to flee her homeland with her four children and a dog.

The interview with Olga Petersen covers:
– The clandestine escape: Why Olga Petersen left Germany under the pretext of a vacation and how she only revealed the truth to her children upon arrival in Russia.
– Political pressure in parliament: The consequences of her refusal to give a Ukrainian delegation a standing ovation and how a “damaged image” in the media triggered a wave of reprisals.
– Election observation in Moscow: Her experiences during the 2024 presidential election and why her fact-based reporting was considered high treason against the German government’s narrative in Germany.
– Collective punishment and indoctrination: How schools and youth welfare offices were instrumentalized to exert pressure on their children – from gender ideology to direct threats against the family.
– Transhumanism and control regimes: An analysis of the attempt to erode human identity and the foundation of the family through pseudosciences such as gender theory.
– Educational comparison: Germany vs. Russia: Why her children in Russia now have to master a significantly more demanding curriculum and why the German education system is knowingly heading towards a “new illiteracy.”

“As soon as you’re not against Russia, you’re the enemy of democracy.”

Olga Petersen, who has now found new security for her family in Russia, advocates a return to German interests and a sovereign foreign policy. She sees the current developments as a dangerous dead end in which young people are being instrumentalized for foreign interests.
A discussion about the anatomy of political persecution in modern Germany, the courage to resist, and the vision of a new, honest partnership between Germany and Russia.
