    I don’t want to paint post 1925 USSR in a good light, but wasn’t an immense number of Soviet citizens killed by the Nazis? I mean, I think it was something to the tune of 22 million last time I checked. Germany had roughly 8 million killed.

    To me this smells like nationalism on Germany’s part and like an attempt to encroach on anti-war leftist and communists who might carry symbols of their movements at demonstrations, regardless if they’re Putinists/Stalinists or state-unaffiliated.
