CrimeaPRESS reports:

In Sevastopol, a citizen was detained who struck vacationers on the beach in Orlovka with his Nazi tattoo. It turned out that, of course, he was not a «fascist» at all, just an ex-«inmate». Explanations «did not roll.» The man was brought to justice for propaganda of Nazism.

During the monitoring of the media and the Internet, police officers in one of the social networks revealed a publication, the author of which posted a photo of an unknown man with a tattoo in the form of the coat of arms of Nazi Germany. The user specified that the photo of the man was taken in a public place — on one of the city’s beaches.

Baldaev, you can find quite a few Nazi tattoos from the Soviet era.
