Two Russian teenagers are facing lengthy prison time for making a giant snow penis in front of a war memorial over the weekenda harmless prank that investigators are now equating with rehabilitating Nazism.

The 14-year-old and 16-year-old boys, who have not been named, created the sculpture in front of the Memorial of Glory in the Altai village of Staroaleiskoye before photographing it and then destroying the large snow phallus.

But even that short-lived stunt may cost them five years in prison, according to the news outlet Baza, which cited the local branch of Russias Investigative Committee. Police quickly detained the teens, hit their parents with misdemeanor charges for not fulfilling parental duties, and handed the case over to federal investigators.

State-run media, meanwhile, reassured the public that the feds had the incident with the snow phallus under control. Alexander Bastrykin, Vladimir Putins top investigator, personally got involved in the case earlier this week, ordering investigators to brief him on the results of the probe into the war memorials desecration, according to a press release from the Investigative Committee.

Meanwhile, Putin just said in the Tucker Carlson interview that Poland deserved to be invaded by Nazi Germany, which surely violates multiple Soviet-era laws about the Great Patriotic War that are still on the books in Russia.

Harmless prank may not have been how it was viewed especially since they are at war. Pretty bad idea that. On the plus side, they could have actually gotten in worse trouble. Sad story.

If anyone's "rehabilitating nazism," it's the assholes who think it's reasonable to lock up teenage boys for five years for the "crime" of making a snow penis. I mean, they didn't even leave it there... they just took a picture of it and tore it down.

See, what you're doing here is a common logical mistake.

A just system looks at the severity of the crime to determine the severity of the punishment. What you're doing is observing the severity of the punishment and using that to determine that the crime must have been severe.

It's giving absolute credence to the choice that was made to give that punishment and that's a flaw that leads to fascism.

But Russia isn't at war, they're in the middle of a 3-day special military operation that is completely limited to only the easternmost parts of Ukraine and please don't ask about casualties.

Nah, Russia is still more overkill. Remember how they were going to keep Brittney Griner in prison for 9 years because she had vapes and oils in her luggage.

Pretty sure they were just doing what any self-respecting person in their situation would do, nothing wrong with that.

What "accountability," exactly. Accountability for... Their teenagers creating a snow penis that didn't hurt anybody, and then even cleaning it up, after they were done?

Please explain.

I remember they already arrested someone for snow penis a few months ago. Seems this happens a lot in Russia.
Nevertheless it's just a juvenile prank, Russians are just overreacting.
