The Moscow TimesRacism Case
MOSCOW (MT) -- The Moscow City Court on Thursday gave a three-year suspended sentence to the former leader of a small Russian nationalist party for fanning ethnic and racial hatred, Interfax reported.
The court ruled that Alexander Ivanov-Sukharevsky encouraged racial discrimination in his public speeches and propagated "nationalism, chauvinism and anti-Semitism" in articles carried by two extremist underground newspapers he published in Moscow.
Ivanov-Sukharevsky led the Popular National Party in the 1990s until the Justice Ministry refused to reregister it in 1998.
