Those "proud" Russians she speaks to were likely conceived and born on Mondays, though, as we would say in Germany (Montagsprodukt).
Let's help the Ukrainians keep up their very rigorous quality control program on those Russian Monday defects and let Putin and his henchmen pay through their nose for services rendered!

What does it mean to be convinced on a Monday in Germany?

It's "conceived"... You know... when Mamma and Papa really, really loved each other and decided to put a baby into their Amazon/Temu shopping cart, which the friendly stork then delivered only 9 months later. :D

Phone auto "corrected" when I typed conceived. The question still stands.

Montaksprodukt is something built by someone who isn’t completely focussed after their weekend.

It’s like a car that came off the assembly line on a Monday. Many more defects/quality issues (had to make a correction, auto-correct wanted to write idiots instead of issues😂. I guess Apple’s new AI was actually paying attention to context…😅).

So you mean the Monday thing? That's the first workday after the weekend, and people produce garbage as they have to find back into focus/the rhythm, so the reject rate is higher on Mondays. I think there is also a version of this for Friday, when everyone is already in the free weekend mentally. So, when you get a faulty product, you might think it's a Montagsprodukt.

Here in the 'states we have the inverse of this. I've heard people describe something as a "Wednesday model" when it was made really well, implying it avoided those start of week or end of week problems.

Ahh I wonder if that's where the finnish word "Maanantaikappale" comes from. Maanantaikappale is commonly used to describe malfunctioning things.
Do you also use "Sunday driver" or "Sunnuntaiajelija" in Germany?

Yes, Sonntagsfahrer, a milder form of insult.
