How Russia hits back at slights over WWII victory

FILE - In this Saturday, Feb. 8, 2014 file photo, police officers detain a protester near Red Square during an unauthorized protest in Moscow, Russia. Around 40 people gathered in downtown Moscow to protest the decision of leading Russian cable and satellite companies to drop the channel, Dozhd (TV Rain). The independent television station Dozhd, or TV Rain, came under attack after asking viewers in January whether the Soviet Union should have surrendered Leningrad, now St. Petersburg, to save the lives of the 1 million people who died during the nearly 900-day Nazi siege of the city during the war. The station quickly pulled the poll and apologized, but President Vladimir Putin’s spokesman said the station had crossed a “red line.” Russian cable operators lined up to drop Dozhd from their packages and prosecutors opened an investigation.
