Criminal responsibility for rehabilitation of Nazism is introduced in Russia Russia May 07, 7:31 UTC+4

The maximum punishment being the deprivation of freedom for a term of up to five years

MOSCOW, May 07, /ITAR-TASS/. Criminal responsibility for the rehabilitation of Nazism is introduced in Russia, effective from Wednesday, with the maximum punishment being the deprivation of freedom for a term of up to five years. Amendments to this effect to the Penal Code and to the Code on Administrative Offences are published in Rossiiskaya Gazeta.

Article 354.1 ("Rehabilitation of Nazism") is added to the Penal Code. The Article envisages punishments ranging from a fine (up to 300,000 roubles) to deprivation of freedom or forced labour for a term of up to three years for a denial in public of the facts established by the sentence passed by the Nuremberg Tribunal, or an approval of the crimes established by the Tribunal, as well as for spread of deliberately false data on the activities of the USSR during the Second World War years.

The maximum fine for the same acts, committed with the use of one's official position, with the use of the media, and the framing-up of charges, grows up to 500,000 roubles and a possible prison term of up to five years, the newspaper points out.

The new Penal Code article also provides for one's responsibility for the "spread of data expressing an obvious disrespect for society and concerning the Days of Military Glory and Russia's commemorative dates connected with the defence of the Fatherland, and for desecration in public of the symbols of Russia's military glory. This is penalized by a fine of up to 300,000 roubles or compulsory or correctional labour.

Provision is made for a fine ranging from 400,000 to one million roubles for legal entities guilty of similar offences committed with the use of the media and the Internet.

What the heck is U S P C? No the NAACP is most definitely not using mind control.

You think you know so much about the US. Have you ever even been here?

Those are 2 different words. "US"+"PC". I meant the American "political correctness crowd".

When all those activists don't impose rules of public life whether formally or de-facto, then we can say there's no mind control present. But instead we see banning Mark Twain's masterpiece "The adventures of Huckleberry Finn" from American schools.

And yet you refuse to answer my question...interesting. At least I have been to your country and know people who are still there.

Your comment about political correctness is over dramatic. You cite the occasional concerns raised by Clemens use of language that some folks find offensive. The truth is the book is not banned from US schools. It is still considered a classic. That some people want to ban it is not the same as it being banned.

Your understanding of the US is grossly inadequate and probably fed by the appropriate sources.

Until you answer my question, have you EVER been to the US, I will not bother with you.

With such your tone I see no reason to reply. Stay happy with yourself.

Wow. Now, socialist fascism is a crime, in the USSR? If Germanic borne? Good grief. The ant keepers- know, no bound.

In the United Nations, U.S. Canada and Ukraine voted AGAINST U.N. resolution to ban promotion of Nazism.

200 000 Americans who died in WWII are turning in their graves.

Die Fahne Hoch flies high in Washington, DC.
