Afanasev Andrei Nikolaevich

Andrei Afanasev was sentenced to 1 year in a settlement colony for desecrating symbols of military glory by posting an image comparing the St. George ribbon to Nazi symbols. The charges stem from his assertion that the St. George ribbon was only used by 'Vlasovites' during World War II.
