Default Prosecutors pull Hitler stamps off the shelves in Russia’s Oryol region

Prosecutors pull Hitler stamps off the shelves in Russia’s Oryol region

Nov 27, 2020

Prosecutors in Russia’s western Oryol region have managed to get postage stamps featuring a portrait of Nazi Germany’s leader Adolf Hitler withdrawn from sale. According to the head of the Karelia-based community organization that printed the stamps, they were meant to underscore the Soviet Union’s victory over Nazi Germany in the Second World War. The Oryol Regional Prosecutor’s Office, on the other hand, concluded that the stamps violate Russia’s federal law banning the use of Nazi symbols.
