Union of Councils for Soviet Jews: Russian Government Not Cooperating in Czech Trial of Neo-Nazi Rock Star

Lack of cooperation from the Russian government is hindering the speedy trial of the country's leading neo-Nazi rock star, according to a November 18, 2005 report by the Russian Jewish web site Jewish.ru. Denis Gerasimov of the rock band "Kolovrat" was arrested in Prague in January 2004 and charged with racial incitement and neo-Nazi propaganda after his group performed at a neo-Nazi concert in the Czech republic.
