A Dagestani resident has been accused of rehabilitating Nazism.

A comment "approving of crimes committed by the Nazis" has led to the criminal prosecution of a Dagestani resident.

A Dagestani resident has been charged with rehabilitating Nazism using the internet (Part 2 of Article 354.1 of the Russian Criminal Code). This charge carries a sentence of up to five years in prison or forced labor.

Investigators discovered a comment by a man on a messaging app. The Dagestani Prosecutor's Office reported today that the purpose of the comment, accessible to an unlimited number of users, was, in their opinion, to endorse crimes committed by the Nazis during World War II.

The agency did not specify whether the accused had admitted his guilt. The official press release also did not indicate the defendant's place of residence or the pretrial detention measure he was given.

"Caucasian Knot" also wrote that the Dagestani resident was accused of rehabilitating Nazism due to publications "distorting historical information about the events of World War II."
