And, now, as the country seems to be edging it way out of the political wilderness, let us hope that, while the new government will hold onto the positives of the previous administration.
It will make a more determined attempt to bring about a rapprochement between Easter and Western Europe.
With Angela Merkel coming from the former East Germany, she should be a valuable asset in helping to bridge the void between the Russian Federation and Western Europe.
Of, it is likely to require the ditching of the old Americana Doctrine of how Europe should be.
The future for Europe does not have to be and 'Americanised' or 'Russianised' one.
Its centre of gravity should be a European one, and not one which allows the United States to continue to generate and entrench enmity between the Russian people and the people of the rest of Europe.
Western Europe does have a fear of President Putin's Russia, and the latter does have a fear of Western Europe.
Russia's fear is not irrational, considering that, not only has the French attacked Russia in the past, but the last two World Wars were began in Western Europe.
It might be time for Germany and France to take a chance, and be more pragmatic in establishing better and lasting relationship with President Putin's Russia.
Since there is nothing to suggest that they will have a better chance of doing so, after President Putin leaves office.
This, then, is part of the formidable challenge which awaits the pending Grand Coalition Government of Germany, being formed, and working with the French, other European nations, the emergent Chinese, and other nations.
To make another giant step for the human race, in securing peaceful coexistence and promote the achievement of shared prosperity.
To establish a more economically equitable and socially just global world order. To replace the now long redundant and inequitable and unjust American model.
