A Russian-US dual national has been detained in St. Petersburg over accusations he showed “clear disrespect” toward the military and was therefore “vindicating Nazism” in social media posts, the Smolninsky District Court said in statement on Saturday. The court said that the image showed “clear disrespect” to society and the military and was an “insult to the memory” of World War II veterans. Malev was detained and charged on December 8, the court statement said. The court said Malev “partially admitted guilt” and will remain in custody until February 7. Malev’s arrest follows the detention of another Russian-US dual national that emerged last month.
