Russian neo-Nazi band member Gerasimov acquitted again

The Prague 6 district court today acquitted Denis Gerasimov, a member of the Russian neo-Nazi band Kolovrat who was charged with promotion of Nazism and neo-Nazism, for the second time today. The same court acquitted Gerasimov last October, but the appeal court returned the case to it for a new trial. The Kolovrat band performed at a skinhead meeting in Chroustovice, east Bohemia, in January 2004. On Gerasimov's departure from the Prague airport, the police found propaganda materials on him which were reportedly related to the neo-Nazi movement.
