This year, the Germans have prepared a "special" role for Russian leader Vladimir Putin. There will be a few carts with the heads of the aggressor country on the famous carnival. In Cologne and other cities of Germany, preparations for the carnival gait, which will take place on February 20, began. This was reported on Wednesday, February 15, by the Telegram-channel of the German TV channel Deutsche Welle. Carnival traditionally will present cartoon "sculptures" on political topics.

In particular, the Germans prepared carts with Russian leader Vladimir Putin, who kisses the devil, a vampire in the form of the President of the Russian Federation, which scrolls the world through a meat grinder, and much more. Cologne carnival is one of the most popular world moves. Every year it passes not only in Cologne, but also in other cities of Germany. The traditions of the holiday date back to the nineteenth century.

According to Wikipedia, the main characters of the Cologne carnival - Prince, Virgin and peasant. They are the "owners" of the carnival, presenting it at all official events in and outside the carnival: at meetings of carnival societies, at the wedding of their members, at official events that take place in the period of "carnival session". The Germans prepare figures in advance, as a rule, politicians from papier-mache, and on the day of gait proudly take them on carts in the carnival course.
