A Russian doctor has been convicted of “promoting fascism” — for sharing the music video for The Cranberries’ anti-war mega-hit “Zombie.”
Valery Kochnev, a surgeon and aspiring politician who had been running for a seat on the Veliky Novgorod’s City Council as a candidate from the Yabloko opposition party, was found guilty Tuesday of “displaying extremist symbols” and fined the equivalent of $20, his party said.

This is the savior of Western Civilization? The neo-Soviet apologists are absolutely bonkers!
Russians are strict about public behavior.
I got nailed a few times for sitting on the floor.
Thank God they stopped you.

More "color revolution" types.
We here in BananAmerica already had our color revolution in 2020...

I am not fat but I could not do that.
I was in jeans and just plopped down on the floor.

Nailed? It is just unclean for you to sit on a floor. That is why Russians don’t do that. And second thing. After sitting on a floor you may go sit on a normal public chair so turn it unsanitary. None want it.
I have been in a lot of European airports and a lot of people sit on the floor.
Even in US airports.
Thanks for letting me know how upset this made you. 😂
Nokleturny? Is that it?
