For the second year in a row, it will be impossible to display and wear the flags and symbols of the Soviet Union and Russia in Berlin. This was reported by the Berlin police, RIA Novosti reports. At first, the ban also applied to the Ukrainian flag, but then it was canceled in court.
Berlin law enforcers explain the introduction of restrictions by the desire to avoid conflicts in society. The ban does not apply to veterans and diplomats.
The Russian embassy in Germany demanded that the immoral and unacceptable ban be lifted. The head of the Russian diplomatic mission, Sergei Nechaev, recalled that the Soviet Union lost 27 million lives - Soviet citizens died in battles, from excessive forced labor, they were brought to death during the Nazi war of extermination.
Today, the Nazis become national heroes in Eurpean countries, the ambassador pointed out. The feat of the Red Army is discredited, memorials are destroyed, military graves are desecrated. It is impossible to put up with this, the diplomat is sure, Nazism cannot be given a chance for revival, including in the form of Russophobia.
