Guzmán told the SOTA website that officers met him at the hospital. He refused to follow them to the department, saying that he did not have his papers on him and had to go back to the hospital where he had an appointment.
Opposition politician Leonid Gozman was arrested in Moscow for his Facebook post in which he equated Hitler with Stalin. His arrest was announced by Yulia Tregubova’s lawyer on the OVD-Info website.
In his post, which led to his arrest, Guzmán wrote: “Hitler is absolute evil, but Stalin is even worse. The SS are criminals, but the NKVD is even worse, because the Chekists killed their own people. Hitler declared war on humanity. The communists have declared a universal war against their own people” (NKVD is the security service under Stalin, Chekists are the workers in it p.s.).
Guzmán told the SOTA website that officers met him at the hospital. He refused to follow them to the department, saying that he did not have his papers on him and had to go back to the hospital where he had an appointment. One of the police officers initially went with him to the hospital and then left. Guzmán contacted his lawyer, waited for her, then went to the police.
On July 25, there was an entry in the database of the Ministry of Internal Affairs stating that Gozman was wanted throughout the territory of Russia. On the same day he was arrested in the Moscow metro and then released. Guzmán is also accused of not declaring his second citizenship (of Israel). In this case, he can be sentenced to compulsory work of up to 400 hours or a fine of 400,000 rubles (6,565 euros), or a fine of the amount of his annual wages. Later the politician himself announced that his wife had also been accused of the same issue.
In 2021 the State Duma (lower house) passed a law signed into law by Russian President Vladimir Putin that prohibits equating communists with Nazis. The administrative law in question provides for the imposition of a prison sentence of up to 15 days and a fine of up to 2,000 rubles (32.83 euros).
