MOSCOW, November 23 - RAPSI. An unemployed resident of Yekaterinburg will be tried for publishing Adolf Hitler's Mein Kampf on the Internet, the Sverdlovsk Region's Investigative Department said on Friday.

According to investigators, the 32-year-old man uploaded the book on the Internet from his PC in March 2012. Mein Kampf was declared extremist by Ufa's Kirovsky District Court on March 24, 2010.

"Police in the Sverdlovsk Region discovered that the book had been posted online. After a careful investigation, a high priority search and special technical steps, the identity of the malefactor and his whereabouts were established," the press release reads.

The criminal case against him has been submitted to court to be considered on its merits.

In October, a Yekaterinburg court fined a university employee in the city 100,000 rubles ($3,210) for a similar offence.
