Sahra Wagenknecht, a prominent but divisive figure in German politics, has gained attention due to the leftwing economic policies but rightwing social views. Her criticisms of identity politics and support for Russia have caused tensions within the Left Party, leading many to suspect that a new favourite ProRussian party may be on the rise in Germany.
