In Poltava, men posed with the flag of the USSR Navy - police opened the case

In Poltava, two men staged a photo shoot with the USSR Naval Flag, which violated Ukrainian legislation. The incident happened on July 27 on one of the beaches in the Podilskyi district of the city, where they posed in the tans and uniforms with two flags - the State Flag of Ukraine and the forbidden symbol of the Soviet Army.

According to Article 436-1 of the Criminal Code, public use of the symbolism of the USSR is a crime for which up to five years in prison, and under aggravating circumstances-up to ten years.

Administrative punishment is also possible - a fine of 850 to 2550 hryvnias with confiscation of the flag, although this article is usually applied to the use of St. George's tape. In cases with Soviet symbols, as in Poltava, criminal proceedings are more likely to be opened.
