B2 rusdeutsch (Germans from russia)
The team RusDeutsch represents the selection of the German minority in Russia.
The term Russlanddeutsche (Germans in Russia) describes those people of German ancestry
who came in the course of several centuries to Russia and who settled there. The different
regions in which they lived influenced the life and culture of the Germans. Nowadays
the Germans are about 0.41% of the total population of Russia. Most Germans (circa
350,000) can be found in Siberia. The International Association of German Culture (IVDK)
is the oldest civil association of the Germans in Russia.
The team consists of 22 players and a team of trainers. It will be supported by about
50 young people who will be at a language camp in the Zittau mountains during the
EUROPEADA.
