I’m obsessed with Gottfried Von Cramm and his Jewish boyfriend.

Isn’t Zverev Russian?


kamidrgn

He’s of Russian ethnicity but his nationality is German I think

There are many Germans with Russian ancestry and vice versa. These countries have had very deep ties and often have shared geopolitical goals, which may be counterintuitive depending on your knowledge of history. After the WW1, which was quite devastating for both countries, but especially Russia, the two went right back to cooperation which lasted well into WW2, until Barbarossa.

Zverev isn’t really German though.
