Russian-American charged with “apologizing for Nazism.”
A man with dual Russian and American citizenship has been taken into custody and charged with “advocating Nazism,” a St. Petersburg court said on Saturday. “(Yuri) Malev was arrested on December 8th… and charged the same day. He admitted his partial guilt,” the court said on Telegram. He was accused of advocating Nazism, a crime punishable by five years in prison.
The court said Yuri Malev posted two messages on social media desecrating the St. George Ribbon, a historical symbol of Russian and Soviet military successes. His messages “expressed a clear lack of respect for society and Russia’s military glory days,” the court said. They “represent an insult to the memory of the Great Patriotic War and the defenders of the Fatherland,” he added, using the Russian term for World War II.
