Russian Jewish politician jailed for comparing Stalin to Hitler – Court sends Leonid Gozman, who holds Israeli citizenship, to 15 days in prison for 2020 Facebook post | Timesofisrael

A Moscow court on Tuesday handed a 15-day prison sentence to a liberal Jewish politician who drew parallels between Soviet dictator Josef Stalin’s regime and Nazi Germany.
Leonid Gozman, 72, was sentenced for a 2020 Facebook post, in which he mocked the Russian legislation that banned likening the Soviet Union to Nazi Germany, saying that “it’s wrong to put an equal mark between them — Hitler was an absolute evil and Stalin even worse.”
