Extremist Russian weekly to shut down
A judge in Moscow ordered the shutdown of “Duel,” an extremist weekly with an antisemitic past, the Jewish Telegraphic Agency reported on December 2. According to the court's web site, the court revoked the paper’s license and ruled that an article it published on July 4, 2006 was “extremist.” The article, which included antisemitic slurs, declared "Death to Russia," describing the country as a state ruled by "kikes" bent on domination.
“Duel” presented itself as engaged in the "battle of social ideas." Its editors received a written warning in April 2007 from the government agency monitoring mass media. The judge relied upon that warning as justification for the shutdown order. The ruling overturns a Moscow City Court decision in February that let the paper continue publishing.
