This is a collection of original journalism by Igor Shengalets, dedicated mainly to modern Germany, the peculiarities of life in this country, the character of its inhabitants and, of course, the problems that Germany and Europe have faced in recent years. First and foremost, this is undoubtedly a “refugee crisis.” In addition to the “German theme”, the author pays great attention to the “Ukrainian issue”, and also shares his own thoughts, raising very important, necessary and timely topics.
