Estonia is introducing criminal responsibility for demonstration and spreading of official symbolic of the former USSR and its republics. The new rule also applies to symbolic of the National-Socialist party of Germany and SS. Usage of the USSR and Nazi Germany symbolic is penalized with fines or imprisonment for the period up to 3 years. In case if a legal entity violates this law the fine may exceed 3.2 thousand EUR. The Estonian government is now passing the new law project to the Parliament.
      An official representative of the Ministry of foreign affairs of Russia underlines that by introducing such law Estonian authorities continue the attempts to rewrite history and morally equal Nazi's misdeeds and heroism of the Soviet people who made a crucial contribution to liberation of Europe. The Ministry of foreign affairs of Russia also marks that such provocative undertakings of the Estonian side can intrinsically complicate Estonia-Russia relationship.
