I am very glad to read this:

Судя по небывалой активности в теме, поездке в Германию- БЫТЬ!
За зиму детали утрясутся, а поскольку я всё равно собирался в Испанию прокатиться, начну поездку с визита к немецким коллегам!
@IVS: You are very welcome if you will come to Germany, especially Bavaria! I would be glad to meet you and I will show you the nicest places here!
The other way, I feel sorry to read something like this:
а вообще у меня деды воевали так, что надобы к немецким "коллегам" съездить

For me, World War 2 is long gone, I was not born at this time. But I faced another kind of war, when I spent several month in Israel as a very young man. All I can tell is, any war is terrible and I really would wish to get these pictures out of my mind. By the way there were even Germans fighting against that cruel Nazi-regime, one of them was my father and he almost died in KZ Dachau because he was part of resistance.
It would be interesting if you also wouldn´t like to visit France? Napoleon also tried to conquer Russia! May be your Grandgrandgrandgrand-father did fight against them?
And you are driving a US-car. Wasn´t there a long time of cold war between USA and Sowjetunion?
Sorry, I think it is time to throw away opinions like that. I believe in international friendship. I don´t know much about Russians, but I know about Ukrainians, and I don´t think there is much difference in mentality. As I can tell, they are people with a big, warm heart, very helpful and friendly and really great hospitality.
Soon I will try to live in Ukraine, and I think it will be possible for me.
Natalia always is saying that I am not typical German, may be she is right, but thinking about my friends, I can tell there are a lot of not "typical" Germans here!
If offroad country could find some time to translate this, it would be great! I don´t want some misunderstandings.
