/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Sergey Shoigu, Head of the Russian Ministry of
Emergency Situations, put forward a suggestion to pass a law that
would stipulate criminal responsibility for denial of the USSR's
victory in the Great Patriotic War.
The minister stressed out that there was a number of countries on the
post-Soviet space that deny both the results of the Great Patriotic
War 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 the monuments to
Soviet warriors", he added.
Shoigu pointed out that he drew the idea from the experience of some
countries which had legalized criminal responsibility for denial of
the Holocaust.
