Warning to the Shatura newspaper "Favorite City" for quoting Hitler

At the end of March 2011 Roskomnadzor announced the issue to the newspaper "Lubimiy Gorod", published in the city of Shatura (Moscow region), warnings about the inadmissibility extremist activity in connection with the publication of Galina Kramich "Fragments Satisfied with the Reichstag" in No. 18 of December 17, 2010.

Reason for warning became one of the famous quotes from "Mein Kampf" Hitler, cited in an article where he talks about the success of using big lie to influence the masses.

Galina Kramich writes about methods of political struggle used by the United Russia party in city, and gives examples of unscrupulous, from her point of view, actions.

In our opinion, the quote used by the author for a more accurate expression of thought and is quite appropriate. Except In addition, we are against the qualification of quoting banned texts as extremism, since it makes impossible neither scientific nor actual political discussion. Thus, in our opinion, the warning has been issued illegally.
