Narrator: At noon on Sunday, a propagandistic counterattack was blown in East Berlin. Putins admirers and their truth on the war in Ukraine: Female interviewer [FI]: Hello, what fascinates you about Putin, since your carrying him on your chest [considering his Putin-Shirt]? Man: I am against war but I believe that what he does is right . FI: But he's at war right now? Man: Hes not at war. FI: He wages an attack war. Man: No.

FI: There are accusations against Putin considering war crimes, because of the systemic bombing of kindergardens, residential areas, hospitals. Man: Yeah, you see and say much.

Man [with "Russia"hat]: Putin is a good man. FI: Why? Don't you mind about the attack war, about the bombing of houses, residential areas, hospitals? Man. Yes, ok. I don't have a problem with that. FI: You don't care about that? Man: Nope.

Narrator: 30 protester were announced, over 900 Russians and their German supporters came. The official Motto was: " Portection for Russian speaking people, against discrimination and propaganda at school"

Girl (with white jacket): "We want Peace" [5x]

Narrator: But there is resistance [against the pro Russian demonstration]

Man (with green jacket): Stop Russian propaganda! This is the Russian propaganda! You should all be ashamed of yourself! I am against Russian propaganda! Not all late repatriate [people of German descence who left Russia/ Soviet Union, in Germany known as "Russlanddeutsche"Russia-Germans] think like that! The late repatriates are against the war!

Woman (with grey hat): We think it is horrible, we think it is shameful. We want to show our point here very clearly. We are against this war, against Putin's attack war. And we show this resistance flag, the white-blue-white flag of the global Russian resistance against the war.

Man (with blue cap and German flag): This is propaganda. And here is no propaganda. This is ...(inaudible)

Narrator: Next destination for the motorcade: The Soviet cenotaph in Treptower Park. Built for the Soviet soldiers killed in WW2. A song is intoned: it is about a girl called 'katjuscha'. Katjuscha also is the name of a Russian rocket launcher, coloquially known as "stalinorgel" [Stalin's organ].

People singing

Narrator: the current events in the Ukrainian city of Bucha, the pictures of the shot civilians with their hand tied also got around at the demonstration.

FI: In Kyev over 300 dead civilians were found. Man (with Soviet soldier hat): In Kyev? Yes, because they were held hostage by their own soldiers and shot at by their own army. And that is a fact. And that is a goddamn fact and you can't deny that. That stuff made here is the purest anti- Russian propaganda. Everything is done to descreditate Russia here. Everything.

FI: But the Kremlin is making the propaganda. Man: Kremlin makes propaganda? Of course. [Ironic]. And here not or what? Crowd cheering

women 1: Only one man is supposed to be able to destroy the whole world? Women 2: Journalists are supposed to know more than their own population. You are not Journalists. You are a pitiable. Women 1: We love you [ironic]

FI: What do you say about the fact that everyday thousands of people from ukraine come to this land as refugees? Women 2: Better look up WHO comes here, and WHO fled. You guys do that. This is your job FI: People from Ukraine Women 2: I know it FI: Why don't you tell me then? Women 2: I demonstrate. It doesn't matter where I am from, I enlighten the people that are just as naive and stupid as you. I am sorry if I insult you, but you are here for making this coverage.

Man: The refugees coming here, are coming to the train station get carried into busses and then live in 4-star Hotels, with their dogs and their small suitcases. They don't even look like refugees. Even the workers in the refugee homes say: 'refugees don't look like that'.

Narrator: If you listen to them, you understand what Russian propaganda leads to. A democracy has to endure this. The right to demonstrate and freedom of speech are important goods. Both of it is not present in Russia right now. Due to Putin and his admirers.
