Russian blogger Nadezhda Pirozhkova has been charged with hate speech after she published a video complaining about how she was splashed unwillingly during Armenia’s Vardavar water festival while calling the festival itself ‘aggressive’ and referring to Armenians as being ‘rat-like’. The charges were reported by the Russian-language Polish media outlet Vot Tak on Wednesday, citing comments from Armenia’s Investigative Committee. Vardavar is a national holiday in Armenia connected to the country’s Apostolic Church. The key manner of celebrating the holiday is by splashing others with water in the street — including total strangers. She also described the holiday as ‘direct aggression towards visitors’ along with the above-mentioned offensive language.
