YEKATERINBURG, December 5 - RAPSI. The Yekaterinburg Ordzhonikidzevsky District Court has sentenced unemployed resident Yevgeny Zaytsev to 200 hours of compulsory community service for publishing Adolf Hitler's "Mein Kampf" on the Internet, the Sverdlovsk Region Prosecutor's Office reported on Wednesday.
According to investigators, the 32-year-old man uploaded the book on to 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 actions, the identity of the malefactor and his whereabouts were established," the court said in a press release.
The agency specified that the sentence has not yet come into effect.
In October, a Yekaterinburg court fined a university employee 100,000 rubles ($3,226) for a similar offense.
