We are talking about the record found earlier, dated 2009 and dedicated to the release of the film “Taras Bulba”. In it, Navalny calls the Jews "Jews" and suggests "warming them with guilds."
“Such statements and statements do not cause anything but indignation and disgust ... Moreover, in our country and now, when we celebrate the 75th anniversary of the Great Victory, which brought to the country all the peoples of the Soviet Union, (including. - RT ) Russia, ”said Hinstein.
As the parliamentarian emphasized, "any incitement of ethnic hatred, any humiliation of people on an ethnic basis is absolutely unacceptable."
“For a liberal environment, anti-Semitic statements should be like a red rag. In the opposition camp there are many representatives not only of the Russian people, but also of other peoples, including my compatriots - Jews. I don’t understand how Jews can be on a par with those who allow themselves such statements, ”he added.
Khinshtein recalled that even before the 1917 revolution, the mention of the word "Jew" was considered unacceptable.
“They could have called for a duel for this and did not give up their hands,” he said.
According to Khinshtein, the current legislation has sufficient tools to hold the authors of such statements accountable.
“We have a fairly large palette of opportunities (to bring to justice. - RT ) - ranging from administrative to criminal punishment. I do not see any reason yet to additionally write something legislatively. The question is how these standards apply, ”he said.
The deputy noted that nationalist beliefs are evidence that a person is not completely healthy.
“If a person divides people on a national basis and humiliates others, something is wrong with his head. Something is wrong with his upbringing, ”concluded Hinstein.
Earlier, Navalny’s entry in LiveJournal was commented on by the chairman of the State Duma’s Foreign Affairs Committee, Leonid Slutsky.
