Olga Gauks Breaks Barriers as Berlin’s First Russian-German Lawmaker
Olga Gauks has made history as the first Russian-German member of the Berlin House of Representatives. Representing Marzahn-Mitte, she has served in the state parliament for nearly two years. Now, she is setting her sights on the 2025 federal elections with a focus on key social issues.
Gauks represents a district home to many late repatriates from the former Soviet Union. Her own multicultural background helps her connect with diverse communities and push for respectful coexistence. She believes cultural policy can bring people together and strengthen unity in her constituency.
Gauks brings a unique perspective to Berlin’s political scene. Her work in Marzahn-Mitte highlights the needs of immigrant communities and the importance of cultural understanding. As the 2025 elections approach, her focus remains on building bridges and addressing the concerns of her constituents.
