Equating the leadership of the Soviet Union with Adolf Hitler’s wartime regime could lead to arrests and hefty fines in Russia, under new plans currrently being drawn up by the country’s parliament to protect historical memory.
On Wednesday, State Duma deputies published a new draft bill on the lower chamber’s website that would see anyone equivalating the actions of the two historical powers face financial penalties and even jail time.
In the text of the proposed bill, which MPs will vote on, it says, “Amendments have been made to the Code of Administrative Offenses, which propose to establish responsibility for the public equation of the role of the USSR and Nazi Germany.”
