Немцы с русскими и советскими корнями
В Германии — одна из крупнейших русскоязычных общин Западной Европы, сложившаяся из нескольких отдельных миграций: русских эмигрантов 1920-х годов, сделавших Берлин столицей изгнания; поволжских немцев (поздних переселенцев), чьи семьи жили в России со времён Екатерины Великой и вернулись после распада СССР; а также еврейской и профессиональной эмиграции 1990-х годов.
Сегодня их потомки заметны в немецкой музыке, кино, спорте и бизнесе. Эта страница документирует выдающихся деятелей в Германии, чьё наследие восходит к Российской империи, Советскому Союзу или современной России.
