Matthias accused Egon Krenz of having asked Mikhail Gorbachev during a visit to Moscow on November 1, 1989, for the deployment of Soviet troops against East German citizens. Gorbachev rejected this and stated that the troops would remain in their barracks. Krenz only signed the order against the use of firearms on November 3, Matthias wrote. He claimed that Krenz later falsely asserted that he had prevented bloodshed in the fall of 1989. The responsible commanders on the ground had waited in vain for orders from the leadership and had independently ordered not to shoot. Matthias also accused Krenz of shared responsibility for election fraud in May 1989 and wrote that he had approved of the Tiananmen massacre. Furthermore, Matthias pointed out that Krenz had been sentenced in 1997 to six years and six months in prison for manslaughter and co-responsibility for the East German border regime, of which he had served nearly four years. He criticized Krenz's complaints about the conditions of his detention in the Plötzensee prison, his defense of the GDR, and his complaints about the amount of his pension. Matthias also wrote that Krenz had only been in power for 50 days before being ousted by the people, and he stated that he should have been entitled to social welfare instead of pension and royalty payments. #DDR #Gorbatschow #Wende (translated)

The ÖRR Blog published the criticism of the professional association BLV-pro against a video by Jan Böhmermann. The association stated that the portrayal of a GDR moped rider as a parody of the AfD politician Siegmund, who is repeatedly run over by a truck while riding a Simson, creates the impression that Siegmund is wished dead, or at least that this outcome is accepted. BLV-pro also criticized that the video generally depicts truck drivers as violent and exploits their profession for provocation. In light of the deaths of four young moped drivers, the portrayal is particularly disrespectful. The association also noted that the contribution is financed with public funds. BLV-pro announced that it is examining legal action and filing a complaint. The association demanded a public statement, a clear distancing from the portrayal, and respect for truck drivers. #OerrBlog #Protest #Satire #LkwFahrer (translated)

06.10.2026 REBORN VATNIK Once upon a time it is a Russian nightmare Ole Sohn was the chairman of the DKP he stood by Honecker through thick and thin until the ship sailed toward the Berlin Wall and sank I really believe the rats had left the ship before Honecker and Sohn. He was probably also on the Kremlin's payroll when Vasyl Stus died in the prison camp Perm 36 because he wrote poems in Ukrainian. Now Sohn is reborn as a vatnik and shares Putin's disinformation. Adds a little distorted reality and then it works. But I don't quite understand the old communist and then Putin is it a contemporary version of the Molotov - Ribbentrop signed by Chamberlain. Putin repeats he wants the annihilation of the free Ukrainian state and as we see in the occupied areas a ban on teaching in Ukrainian and the filtration of Ukrainian; rediscovery or extermination. You are back together with Honecker Ole Sohn. (translated)

Franz Branntwein wrote that people in the former GDR rose up for freedom twice between 1945 and 1990: on June 17, 1953, and on November 9, 1989. West Germans ate bananas during this time. He cited this as an explanation for why "Ossis" are, in his opinion, the way they are. https://t.co/wzqjfBpWpV #DDR #Freiheit #Geschichte (translated)

Michael Klonovsky pointed out that the "Neue Deutschland" reported on October 9, 1989, under the headline "Festive Reception in the Palace of the Republic," about a reception with deserving citizens and foreign guests, a toast by Erich Honecker, and a program featuring renowned GDR artists. He described this as a prophetic description of Frank-Walter's isolated celebration with a culture elite funded by taxpayers' money. The repetition is neither once a tragedy nor once a farce, Klonovsky wrote, but could also be twice a farce. #DDR #Geschichte #Erinnerung (translated)
