Russian regulator to stop Apple and Google from selling Hitler’s ‘Mein Kampf’

Russian prosecutors have demanded that the country’s media watchdog block access to sections of Apple’s App Store and Google Play that allow Russian users to download the works of Adolf Hitler and Islamic writer Sa’id bin Ali bin Wahf Al-Qahtani, the Izvestia newspaper reported Thursday.

The move follows months of bluster by the watchdog, Roskomnadzor, over the hawking of “extremist” material to Russians by foreign Internet companies. But this time the threat is backed both by requests from the Prosecutor General’s Office and a court decision that requires Roskomnadzor to act, Izvestia said.
