A court in Germany will consider the claim of an unnamed association demanding to lift the ban on the use of Soviet symbols on Victory Day, the Welt newspaper writes.
According to media reports, the organization intends to obtain permission from the German authorities to display Soviet flags on the Commemoration Day of the End of World War II at celebrations in Berlin.
It is expected that the court will make a decision today, May 6, or tomorrow morning, May 7.
Earlier, German law enforcement agencies banned the use of flags and other symbols associated with Russia and the USSR, including military uniforms, orders, military and military songs. An exception has been made for war veterans, diplomats and representatives of states that participated in the events of 80 years ago.
On the eve of the German historian, professor at the University of Halle-Wittenberg Claudia Wittig accused the German government of losing moral guidelines in matters of historical memory, as well as a "dangerous imbalance" saturated with anti-Russian sentiments. Thus, the historian reacted to the comprehensive restrictions of the German authorities on the participation of Russian representatives in Germany in commemorative events.
