This is the final text about the problems of mass migration in Europe. More precisely, about the myths that make people think that migrants, especially from Muslim countries, are Europe's main problem. That the economy (for example, the German one) is stagnating because Germany has turned into either a transit point or a boarding house. Where new residents don't want to work, but to live on benefits.

We continue the conversation about the «demise of beautiful Europe under the onslaught of barbarian migrants with their alien culture.» Such views are quite popular even among post-Soviet emigrants who have lived in the West for a long time. For example, among many of the more than a million Soviet Germans and Jews who moved to Germany. They genuinely worry that «Germany is not what it used to be.» It's high time to talk about how the German system works when it comes to cultural imports.

In ancient times, it took the Jews forty years to mentally overcome slavery and enter the Promised Land. How long will it take us to overcome the Soviet past?

In the previous text, we discussed that migrants in Europe are not «guests» at all. In Germany, where I (a migrant) live, 25-30% of all citizens have migrant roots. In this sense, Germany occupies in Europe the same place that America once did in the world. That is, a migrant is not a «wicked Chechen» who, in Lermontov's words, «crawls ashore, sharpening his dagger,» but an integral part of the German landscape. Now it is necessary to talk about the crime that migrants, according to the common opinion, bring with them (here, unfortunately, the common opinion is correct). And about the terrorism that is called «Islamic.»

Today's Germany is a country of migrants. In some ways, even more so than the USA. From politics to culture, it has long relied on people with a migration background.

On December 5th in California, Frank Gehry passed away—a fearless experimenter and visionary who changed perceptions of his profession and invented new tools for it. He broke the rules, followed his own desires and imagination, and transformed the world around him. And now, with sorrow, we speak of him in the past tense.

The fewer economic, cultural, and simply human ties between Russia and European countries, the more conflict stories there are, the easier it will be to turn toward a possible military clash. No one in Europe wants such a development, but a peaceful Russian-Ukrainian agreement as imposed by the American administration looks like a respite for the aggressor. Therefore, Europe and Ukraine need to build a new structure to deter Russia together, without wasting time.

The war in Ukraine and the related increase in military spending in Europe, inevitably accelerating inflation, are leading to anti-migrant sentiments and, consequently, to the growing popularity of the far-right in several European countries. In Germany, according to the latest August public opinion poll, the rating of the right-wing populist and pro-Russian party «Alternative for Germany» reached 26% (the ruling Christian Democratic Union is in second place with 24%). Meanwhile, Russian drones have started entering NATO countries. We discussed the situation in Europe with sociologist Igor Eidman (the Russian Ministry of Justice considers him a foreign agent).

At the beginning of September, a meeting took place in Paris with representatives from 35 countries interested in the activities of the «Coalition of the Willing.» The essence of this peacekeeping idea, conceived six months ago, is to station troops from Ukraine's allied countries on its territory.

Who today could take responsibility both for continuing support of Ukraine, for rearming Europe, and for organizing a more autonomous security system? Obviously, in the absence of competencies within the EU in defense policy, this mission should be taken on by the leading European countries — in fact, these are the countries of the Weimar Triangle. The first signs of agreement between them, shown in the May visits and negotiations, inspire cautious hope. There are no other contenders for such a role anyway.‍
