Kind of reminds me of that book "The Vanishing Commissar" or something like that about how people disappeared from Soviet visual media over time. If we don't like the past, we just rewrite it! So much change and so much stays the same.

Guys
It is normal for Russia (Soviet Union). Look at their history. Nothing changed, just different names and tytles.
As soon as new government comes, they distroy everything behind.
From my personal life experience, it is not only on government level. It was always their life style.
Destroying - you prove that you are better. :mad:
I hope Putin will not sign it. If he signs, he is not any different from this bunch of idiots.

Just my two pesos...
I have never agreed with any kind of banning, and my dissaproval is higher when it comes to symbols. Banning a H&S or a Hakenkreuz won´t make a government who banns these symbols any better than the repressive regimes they try to erase from their history; in fact, they just do the same as those regimes did. History (and especially the darkest times of it) repeats itself... And the countries´s labor should be -at least, to do all they can- to avoid those"dark times" from showing up once more. A good way to do it is to keep those symbols (and thus, the memory) to remind people and to teach future generations how necessary is to take consciousness that that kind of events should never happen again for the sake of themselves and the rest of mankind.
There's nothing in the streets
Looks any different to me
And the slogans are replaced, by-the-bye
And the parting on the left
Are now parting on the right
And the beards have all grown longer overnight
The Who, Won't get fooled again

It was actually an honorary citizenship of a town that will soon be hosting an EU meeting. Technically the citizenship expired when he committed suicide, but I guess they wanted to clean up the ambiguity pre-emptively.
