YMMV / Samowar in Atlantis

• Everyone Is Jesus in Purgatory: Lampshaded with the protagonist's name that is Björn (Swedish) Mika (Finnish) Ringstorff. ^note In Real Life, some Harald Ringstorff was the long-serving minister-president (governor) of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. This fictional Ringstorff also hails from Mecklenburg, from Wismar to be exact.
• Jerkass Woobie:
  
  Ignaz "Nazi" Schuhmann, deeply affected by the events of the time as a former Sipo officer, working as a taxi driver thereafter for a while before turning into a drunkard and losing his driver's licence and essentially living on the dole since then. ^note  Technically, he's been conveniently retired on basic income guarantee, but that doesn't spare him from feeling like a hobo.
  
  His daughter has him "well under control" whenever she deems it necessary and is dating this Björn guy from the "old motherland" that left serious issues to him.
• Memetic Mutation:
  • "Herrgott im Himmel!"
  • "What you do on vacation, stays on vacation!"
  • "There are just some things I needn't have had..."
• This Is Your Premise on Drugs:
  • No. 1 among Ten ways to get rid of 100 billion Deutschmarks: Turn Chemnitz into a beautiful city!
  • What if you imposed a Bavarian-style curfew on a city like Real Life Berlin and it would work because of even more gentrifiers?
