Russian Germans, who were persecuted under [[Stalin]] and immigrated to Germany after 1991, comprise an important constituent base of the AfD. There are three million Russian Germans living in modern Germany. Many have encountered [[Russophobia]] living in [[the West]], bigotry against their [[Orthodox]] faith, and refused permits to gather in large crowds to celebrate [[Victory Day]] over [[fascism]].<ref>[https://youtu.be/NYAy3r16cE4 Russlanddeutsche - unsere fremden Nachbarn? | SWR Doku], Jul 13, 2022.</ref> Not surprisingly, AfD is strongest in the five states which comprise the former East Germany, though not as strong in Berlin proper.
