I'm well aware of the popular notion that many US politicians are controlled by Russia, but have never heard that a similar theory exists with respect to Germany. Is this really a thing now, or are you referring to a far more limited scenario?

It actually existed before the US scandal. Gerhard Schroeder promotes the nordstream deal as chancellor, signed an agreement between nordstream and Germany, then upon leaving office signed onto Nordstream’s board of governors. If that isn’t the revolving door I don’t know what is.
