Default Russian lawmaker proposes Nazi tattoo ban

Russian lawmaker proposes Nazi tattoo ban

Russian State Duma parliamentary Igor Zotov, chairman of the Russian 'Sensior Citizens for Justice Party', has proposed 500,000-ruble ($7,180) fines for studios that tattoo Nazi or extremist symbols or demonstrate them, RIA Novosti reported on Tuesday.

Zotov said the bill aims to protect young people from the growing propaganda of Nazism and its symbols, in particular tattoos of Nazi and extremist symbols that are denigrating Russian citizens.

However, the story again came to mind a few days ago when the Prosecutor's Office and Investigative Committee opened a criminal investigation into a Moscow children's store selling toy soldiers dressed in Nazi uniform. The authorities questioned the store's owner, searched the warehouse and even searched the employees' homes.

The case has received national media coverage. Pro-Putin "civic organizations" have even joined forces to publish a letter expressing their alarm. State-controlled media are presenting the case as an unusually cynical attempt by Russia's enemies to play a subtle trick on this country just as it is about to celebrate the anniversary of its victory over fascism on May 9. I would not be surprised if the searches are even followed by several arrests.

The time for funny stories..

Kosher Holocaust comic picture book is banned in Russia.. because of swastica on the title page

Quote:
Anxious to comply with a law against Nazi propaganda, bookstores in Moscow having been pulling copies of the comic book Maus. Art Spiegelman’s Pulitzer Prize-winning book, which uses cats and mice to depict the horrors of the Holocaust, is not exactly pro-Nazi, but it does feature a swastika on its cover, and the store owners pulling it say they didn’t want to run afoul of a government directive mandating the removal of fascist symbols from the city ahead of the May 9 Victory Day celebrations, which commemorate the defeat of Nazi Germany.
