Do not defame Putin's state organ, no matter how defame worthy its size is. Meanwhile in Ukraine, Zelensky's state organ is used as a pianist.
If they could the EU would prosecute Americans for public “racist and/or sexist” comments, just like they do their own citizens.
This story doesn’t make a whole lot of sense. If this German guy is driving his floats through German cities - and not Russian ones - how could he be breaking any Russian laws?
So either:
A. This arrest part of the story is fiction.
B. Putin is so crazy he’s trying to arrest people in other countries.
I don’t think I’d make a bet either way here.
Aside: The story did mention an “in absentia” component to all this. But I couldn’t access the links to that.
The man has a satirical wit, no doubt, attacking Putin and Trump.
The article doesn’t mention that he turned his wit on the leaders of his own country that suppress free speech and harbor muslim predators.
The man is strangely selective in his targets.
One might suspect he has Leftist leanings or a skewed sense of liberty.

For some reason, I’m reminded of Lincoln’s quote comparing the US and Russia on the extent to which they implemented authoritarian policies. “When it comes to this [implementing the policies], I should prefer emigrating to some country where they make no pretense of loving liberty – to Russia, for instance, where despotism can be taken pure, and without the base alloy of hypocrisy.” His point was that the US did the same thing as Russia but in other ways. In this case, Putin wants to prosecute a guy for creating a float that lampoons Putin. Is Putin’s policy authoritarian and wrong? Of course. But in the US, we don’t have official laws to prosecute those who lampoon the president but I remember the absolute s__tstorm that came down on anyone who the liberal mob thought was making fun of Obama. Remember the national media attacks that resulted in death threats to the rodeo clown who wore an Obama mask? Or the attacks on the guy who put up the anti-Obama flag? Maybe its better to have despotism pure without the base alloy of hypocrisy.
So Putin ADMITS he’s an organ!!
Germany’s Facshing celebrations are really quite interesting.
