Russia bans Hitler's "Mein Kampf" as extremist
MOSCOW:
Russian prosecutors on Friday banned Adolf Hitler's 1925 semi-autobiographical book 'Mein Kampf' as extremist in an attempt to combat the growing allure of far-right politics.
Banned in Germany since World War Two, the book outlined Hitler's vision of racial supremacy. Despite including tracts that are both anti-Jewish and anti-Russian, it has been championed by some Russian far-right groups.
