The German resident decided to express dissatisfaction with the policy of the authorities of his country and other world powers, accusing Russia of involvement in the poisoning of ex-GRU colonel Sergei Skripal and his daughter.
In addition to the flag, the German placed a plate with a quote from the poet-patriot Theodor Körner, whose name is considered “a symbol of the mutiny in Germany.” According to the man, his goal was to remind all fellow citizens that an unwanted power could be overthrown at any time, and “justice will rule.”
Berlin resident said that he would remove the flag only in one case – if Russia’s involvement in the poisoning of the Skripals would be proved:
“Until I see clear evidence of Russia’s involvement, I will not take it off and consider the whole story as very unjust,” he said.
