Jewish leaders and human rights activists in Russia are outraged by a sentence handed down in the case of a publisher known for anti-Semitic views. Alexander Brod, director of the Moscow Bureau for Human Rights, said activists would seek new opportunities to bring Viktor Korchagin to justice for activities which include the publication of a Russian edition of Hitler’s “Mein Kampf.” On Nov. 24, a Moscow court found Korchagin guilty of publishing hate materials and passed a one-year suspended sentence, which was immediately annulled because of a statute of limitations.
