I read it. Rubbed my eyes and shook my head. Then read it again. Sure enough, there it was on the St. Petersburg Prosecutor's Office website:
http://procspb.ru/news/spb/16547 These layabouts and casino protectors are now apparently checking what is "within acceptable bounds ahead of a commemorative date." What if it's after the commemorative date? What if it's before it, but by two months? And what about the same question in a history textbook approved by the Russian government?
And finally, isn't it itself beyond the bounds of acceptability that the prosecutor's office of a huge city is wasting time on this crap instead of doing its job? So let's go ahead and ban books and classes where military history is discussed from the standpoint of military strategy. It was very well said what the shrieking from United Russia (the ruling pro-Kremlin party) and all these fake bureaucratic patriots really is:
Natalia Sindeeva of TV Rain said yesterday that she sees what is happening as revenge for the channel's report on the dacha cooperative "Sosny," based on an investigation by the ACF (Anti-Corruption Foundation). The Kremlin crooks caught with their palaces are obviously the ones making all this noise, pretending to be deeply upset that survivors of the Siege of Leningrad were supposedly insulted. We haven't heard that from the siege survivors themselves—quite the opposite. Most likely, both the siege survivors and St. Petersburg residents in general were far more insulted that they were kept waiting in the freezing cold for three hours and not allowed into Piskaryovskoye Memorial Cemetery because "Putin was late again". The most disgusting thing about this whole story is that the driving force behind this "patriotic scandal" is that United Russia pack of thieves, about whom we understand perfectly well: they would have been the first to sign up as collaborationist police or to profiteer from food in the besieged city. As part of this campaign of "Kremlin hysteria," cable networks are dropping TV Rain one after another. The best response right now is to go here and subscribe to TV Rain. Do it right now. P.S. And if the Kremlin riffraff got so enraged by the story about the "Sosny" cooperative, then let's launch another wave of sharing it.
