Following Warsaw ’21, a fragment of which pertaining the destruction of Soviet WWII memorials in Poland we translated, the Russian on-line cinema “Okko” has released in April of 2026 a new series taking place in Germany: Berlin ’23. The series has English subtitles and is well worth watching.

Plot:
The brilliant diplomat Vyacheslav Vasilyev arrives in Berlin to replace his colleagues who were expelled from Germany, with the aim of restoring the embassy’s operations. He is joined by the experienced operative Sergei Nenashev. Vasilyev must solve the assigned tasks at the highest level, while Nenashev must illegally infiltrate the country to work undercover. According to Russian intelligence, the German Minister of Defense, Becker, is secretly creating special mercenary units to participate in a war against the Russian Federation. Nenashev and Vasilyev must combine their efforts to counter provocations from Western intelligence agencies, expose their conspiracy, and prevent the creation of an alternative front that threatens Russia’s security.

One of the main events in the series is a false flag explosion at a café in Berlin, for which Russia is immediately blamed by the media, while at the same time Russian voice is silenced by the same media.

As a result, Vasilyev has to resort to a public stunt in front of the Reichstag, giving a history lesson about false flags, the Reichstag fire of 1933, and the concept of cui prodest, who benefits — certainty not Russia.

Russian filmmakers did not need a scrying ball to know of a coming Leipzig false flag (https://t.me/BeornAndTheShieldmaiden/30806) — all they needed was a solid knowledge of history.

As Vasilyev says:

“History teaches nothing, but punishes for not learning its lessons.”

The series ends on an optimistic note, where Germany sees reason and a chance of not getting dragged into yet another war with Russia.

Does Merz’ Germany have such a chance?

🇷🇺⚡🇩🇪 The accusations levelled at Russia by the West over the drone incident at Leipzig Airport mark the start of a real war, Sergey Lavrov stated in an interview with Pavel Zarubin for the ‘Vesti’ news agency.

“By and large, this is effectively the start of a real war. They’ve expelled the Consulate-General from Bonn… They’re closing the Russian House in Berlin. I remember that before the start of the Second World War, the Great Patriotic War – or rather, the Germans were also closing their diplomatic missions… They want war again.”

The Russian leadership will draw conclusions from the statements made by German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, the Foreign Minister is certain:

“He is, in essence, coming to declare war on us. And the lessons of history have not been learnt at all. It turns out that these metastases of Nazism are beginning to break through. This is a dangerous phenomenon. I believe the Russian leadership will draw the appropriate conclusions.”

At the same time, the minister has no doubt that some of the current “political figures” will soon no longer be at the “pinnacle of European politics”:

“I have no great doubts, to be honest, that at some point – hopefully not too far in the future – they will be swept away from the pinnacle of European politics and that the peoples of Europe will, after all, make the right choice. When this will happen is another matter, but I think we won’t have to wait very long.”
