The DDR was a democratic republic too. I recently watched the Kleo series 
that is set in that era.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kleo

Klep is a Stasi assassin that was hung out to dry by the Stasi. She gets 
out of prison after the fall of the wall and is a little pissed.

It can be a bit strange with characters like Thilo and Uwe, who has more 
lives than a cat, but I enjoyed it.
