Russian Connection
Tracing the roots — Blagoveshchensk
Born in Blagoveshchensk on the Russian-Chinese border in 1992, Schüle is an Aussiedler — an ethnic German returned from Russia — whose story is one of the more dramatic origin stories in German entertainment. Her Russian birthplace gives her a genuine connection to the Russian land that most German-Russian immigrants share only through their grandparents.
