December 2, 2019

The President signed Federal Law On Amendments to Article 6 of Federal Law On Perpetuating Feats of Soviet People in the Great Patriotic War of 1941–1945 and Article 1 of Federal Law On Countering Extremist Activities.

The Federal Law prohibits the use of Nazi attributes and symbols or attributes and symbols similar to the point of confusion to those as offensive to the multi-ethnic nation and the memory of victims who fell in the Great Patriotic War. The exception are the cases of using Nazi attributes and symbols or attributes and symbols similar to the point of confusion to those that develop a negative attitude to the Nazi ideology and lack the characteristics of propaganda or justification of Nazism.
