MOSCOW. Jan 31 (Interfax) - Russian parliamentarians have proposed introducing criminal liability for those who attempt to rehabilitate Nazism.
Russian MPs want the rehabilitation of Nazism to be treated as a criminal offence carrying up to three years in prison or a fine amounting to 300,000 rubles. People found guilty of committing such crimes using their official post or the media may be sentenced to a fine of up to 500,000 rubles or up to five years in prison.
Appropriate amendments to the country's Penal Code have already been prepared, Irina Yarovaya, head of the State Duma Security and Counter-Corruption Committee, said on Friday.
