Germany. Portrait Against the Background of the Era

The Federal Republic of Germany is one of the leading powers in modern world politics. Once an "economic giant, but a political dwarf," it has transformed in the 21st century into a state whose opinions cannot be ignored. This circumstance, as well as the centuries-old history of the "special" relationships between Germans and Russians, whether with a "plus" or "minus" sign, creates genuine interest in Germany among Russians. The book is a universal information and analytical publication that contains a systematic presentation of Germany's post-war history and paints a detailed picture of the country's modern political and governmental structure, its socio-economic system, foreign policy, and development features in the third millennium. The work is rich in solid factual material, which gives it an encyclopedic character. The author provides special terminology in Russian and German, which is a valuable aid for those studying or teaching the German language.
Recommended for students studying foreign regional studies, educators in the humanities at universities and schools, and for anyone interested in foreign countries, their history, and contemporary internal and external politics.
