Will Russia's Parliament introduce a bill criminalizing denial of victory of the USSR in WWII?
Settled as No
Didn't happen...
Background:
Background: Sergey Shoigu, the head of Russia’s EMERCOM, put forward a suggestion to pass the law that would stipulate criminal responsibility for rejecting USSR’s victory in WWII.
“I believe that parliament needs to pass the law that would stipulate criminal responsibility for those denying the victory of the USSR in the Great Patriotic War,” Shoigu said.
The minister stressed that there was a number of countries on the post-Soviet space that reject both the results of the WWII and the deeds of the Soviet nation in it. The law, the official added, would allow to protect Russia’s history.
“The presidents of several countries who deny that would not be able to come to our country unpunished, and the mayors of several towns would think twice before they decide to dismantle monuments [to Soviet warriors]”.
The minister, who acts as a co-chairman of the Supreme Council of Russia’s ruling party United Russia, noted 12 countries had legalized criminal responsibility for the rejection of Holocaust. A person, who denies Holocaust in those countries, is likely to be sentenced up to five years in jail.
Russia’s Public Chamber is ready to participate in the preparation of the law about the role of the USSR in the defeat of fascism and about the responsibility for denying that role of the Soviet Union. Officials of the Public Chamber stated the suggestion was worth noticing.
Vladimir Zhirinovsky, the leader of the Liberal and Democratic Party of Russia, said that a bill about the denial of the USSR’s role in the Great Patriotic War would have many chances to be approved if submitted to the parliament.
