After the victory of the far right in the parliamentary elections in Saxony-Anhalt, special representative of the President of the Russian Federation Kirill Dmitriev wrote on his X: «I look forward to jointly building a great future together with ‘AfD’ — Germany’s most popular party». Russian authorities have indeed long supported this party, and elections in eastern Germany may affect the result of the federal elections to the Bundestag.

Upsala-Circus is a social circus project for children and teenagers in difficult life circumstances. It was founded in 2000 in St. Petersburg by director Larisa Afanasyeva together with her German colleague Astrid Schorn. After the start of the full-scale war in Ukraine, Larisa, together with part of the team, left Russia and moved to Germany. For four years now, Upsala-Circus has been working in Zeitz, a small town in Saxony-Anhalt. It is here that the far-right party «Alternative for Germany» (AfD), which is gaining popularity thanks to anti-migrant slogans, is currently leading in the regional elections.
