Mixed Germany

German companies have not fully withdrawn from Russia and continue operations through subsidiaries, despite public claims and media images suggesting a mass exodus.

The evidence shows that many German companies, despite geopolitical pressures, continue to operate in Russia, often through subsidiaries or intermediaries. This claim is supported by multiple sources confirming ongoing business activities and tax contributions. The perception of a 'mass exodus' is more complex than media depictions suggest. Public discussions about moral responsibility may indeed be more about managing image than substance, reflecting the opinion nature of such claims.
