Russian courts will no longer be able to ban “17 Moments of Spring”
The State Duma of the Russian Federation adopted in the third reading a law clarifying the standards for displaying Nazi symbols. The law involves allowing the presence of such symbols in media reports, as well as in works of art, literature and science, if necessary for educational purposes, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
This was reported on the State Duma website.
During the second reading, amendments were made to the law, clarifying that such a demonstration of Nazi symbols is possible only in the absence of its propaganda, as well as justification of Nazi crimes.
As one of the co-authors of the law, deputy Elena Yampolskaya, noted, when a complete ban on the demonstration of Nazi symbols was adopted, “a legal conflict arose, which over the past years has been a serious irritant for society.”
“In the near future, it is necessary to amend the Code of Administrative Offenses and abolish penalties for the use of Nazi symbols without signs of propaganda. The corresponding bill has been introduced,” she said.
