Internships or traineeships in Germany

While you, as an EU citizen, can freely move to and reside in Germany (at least until Brexit), I am afraid your skills (Russian politics) are a very small niche with few jobs inside.
A lack of German language skills does not make it easier.
Forget about teaching English - without an educational university degree and the ability to talk to students (in German), you probably have no chance here.

Actually there are opportunities to teach English being a native speaker and having a MA does count for something. Not having a degree in education, jobs in normal public schools are not allowed. But one can still work at private companies, language schools or even the Volkshochschule (community college). In a pinch, or as a side job, one could also offer privat tutoring.  Of course the better one's German is, the more likely one is to get hired. But many such jobs are poorly paid. Especially in the business sector, I could envision that there might be companies that deal with Russia that might value a native English speaker with good Russian...
