Saxony, the east German state of which Dresden is the capital, holds an election on September 1st. Although Mr Calutcov is impressed by Michael Kretschmer, Saxony’s conservative premier, he will opt for the Sahra Wagenknecht Alliance (bsw), a new party named for its founder, a charismatic former communist. The bsw, an offshoot from a hard-left party, blends leftist economics with conservative positions on culture. Crucially for Saxony—as well as Thuringia and Brandenburg, two eastern states that also vote next month—the bsw has a doveish line on Russia that, when Ms Wagenknecht turns on the demagogy, can be hard to distinguish from Kremlin propaganda.
