Russlands Präsident Vladimir Putin (links) auf der gemeinsamen Pressekonferenz mit der deutschen Bundeskanzlerin Angela Merkel zum Auftakt der Hannover Messe im April 2013. Der wirtschaftliche Erfolg war großartig, die politische Stimme jedoch unterkühlt. Die deutsche Regierungschefin kritisierte Russland wegen undemokratischer Methoden. Die Bundesrepublik Deutschland hat sich seit Konrad Adenauer immer zu den USA bekannt. Zugleich ist jedoch festzuhalten, dass die Mehrheit der Deutschen heute die „russische Seele" mit Musik, Literatur und Kunst schätzt, trotz aller Grausamkeiten die sich beide Länder während des Zweiten Weltkrieges und bei Kriegsende 1945 angetan haben.

In this strenuous style was also created the portrait "Arno Breker", who was the most significant sculptor of the classical tradition in the 20th century. In Cadora's cycle of portraits of significant contemporaries, poets, writers and composers predominated. For our article, see Georg Cadora is dead ...

Church Diplomacy: Pope Francis welcomed as the first female head of state the Argentinian President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner in the Vatikan. At home in Argentina, according to media reports there have been differences between the two. As a Bishop, the present Pope was critized for cooperating with the military dictatorship and for inadequately protecting priests. So far, these accusations have not been proven.
