A meeting of the National Anti-Terrorism Committee was held in Moscow, dedicated to countering the spread of terrorist ideology, neo-Nazism, and religious extremism in the North Caucasus Federal District.

Criminal proceedings have been initiated against unidentified employees of the historical-educational and human rights society «Memorial» under the article of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation «Rehabilitation of Nazism». No official documents or requests have yet been received by the organization’s lawyers.
According to the investigators, the society denied the facts established by the verdict of the International Military Tribunal in Nuremberg and spread false information about the activities of the USSR during the Second World War. The «Memorial» noted that they have never denied or questioned the conclusions of the Nuremberg Tribunal.
In January, it became known that the SK began a verification of the chairman of the board «Memorial» Jan Rachinsky on the article about the rehabilitation of Nazism.
