A statement from the prosecutor’s office on
Saturday said investigators were considering possible charges of
inciting hatred and undermining the dignity of veterans of World War II.
The case comes just a month before planned
extensive ceremonies throughout Russia marking the 70th anniversary of
the defeat of Nazi Germany. The Red Army’s offensive against the Nazis
is one of the most revered actions in Russia.
News reports said the figurines were on sale
at the Central Children’s Store, a vast building in central Moscow
famous in Soviet times under the name Detsky Mir. It reopened this week
after seven years of reconstruction.
