Free Speech in Russia UPDATE

Remember that journalist who was fined $33 dollars for defaming a World War II veteran? It turns out his article was about a Moscow restaurant which had originally been called "Anti-Soviet," but had changed its name under pressure from local officials, the youth movement Nashi and veterans.

With that in mind, here's a poll from last week's issue of Kommersant Vlast', a popular news weekly:

The question: "Is it acceptable to use the word 'Anti-Soviet' in the name of a hotel, restaurant or other public space?"

Response: 69% - Rather unacceptable; 14% rather acceptable; 17% hard to answer.
