I don't know if you are joking and I am whooshing it but: Putin. He was former.. i believe even chief of the KGB. Was stationed in East Germany for a while and made quite the career. And now he instigated himself as a Russian Erdogan who can rule for as long as he wishes.

Russians always were more of the "lets kill the ruling class in a bloody battle of the working class and absolute brutality for the sins their families have committed against us" kind. (Source: The murder of the Romanov family )

Remember Angela Merkel? She was a Stasi member is East Germany at the same time but everyone seems to pretend they weren't former colleagues.

Bruv... she was in politics. Not the Stasi. And even if she was everyone was a spy on everyone in the east. The woman got a damn doctor in physics. What could she do for the Stasi? And besides. No proof.
