A court in Russia has convicted a dual U.S.-Russian citizen for “rehabilitating Nazism” after posting anti-war images on social media. Yuri Malev was sentenced to three-and-a-half years in a minimum-security penal colony.
A dual U.S.- Russia n citizen was convicted for “rehabilitating Nazism” by a St. Petersburg court Wednesday after posting anti-war images on social media.
Malev was arrested in December after sharing images on Russian social media site Odnoklassniki featuring the black-and-orange Saint George’s ribbon — a symbol of Russian military pride. The St. Petersburg City Court sentenced Malev after he “admitted his guilt,” the court’s press service said in a statement. It said court documents described Malev as a security guard at the Match Point sports complex in Brooklyn.
