Russia
It seems to me there is something missing in the "intent" or the "translation" of this legislation.
After all, the bill was called "Law Against Rehabilitation of Nazism". An academic revision or adjustment of the events of the holocaust would not necessarily be regarded as a pro-Nazi agenda.
it appears the Israelis made a leap in translation to "holocaust deniers" when nothing in the bill focuses on that issue.
Putin's legislation makes it unlawful to distort Russia's role in WWII.
