Russia Mulls Jailing ‘Nazism Whitewashers’ for 5 Years.

[dipsydoodle]

MOSCOW, January 31 (RIA Novosti) – People who attempt to "whitewash Nazism" will face fines and long prison sentences under legislation put forward Friday by Russia’s ruling party.

United Russia’s bill would be based on the Nuremberg Trials of 1945-1949, lawmaker said.

The trials, held by the Allies, convicted most surviving Nazi leaders of war crimes, denounced fascism and proclaimed most Nazi organizations as criminal.

Questioning the Nuremberg trials would be punishable with up to five years in prison or a fine of 500,000 rubles ($14,000), Yarovaya said at a meeting of the party’s conservative wing.

The bill has been in drafting limbo for five years, but has finally become legally unambiguous with the mention of the Nuremberg Trials, she said.

The bill also proposes to criminalize “dissemination of deliberate misinterpretations about the Soviet Union’s role in World War II.” No further explanation was given.
