A court in Russia has convicted a dual U.S.-Russian citizen for “rehabilitating Nazism” over posts on social media
A dual U.S.-Russian citizen was convicted for “rehabilitating Nazism ” by a St. Petersburg court Wednesday over posts on social media.
Court documents said one post showed the ribbon pinned to a corpse alongside the caption of “how to wear the Saint George’s ribbon properly." The documents described the posts as “humiliating the honor and dignity of World War II veterans." The Kremlin has cracked down on all forms of dissent since launching its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. Laws prohibiting the spread of “false information” or disparaging the military have been used to target anyone critical of the conflict with fines and prison sentences.
