The information source "Ъ" in the administration said that Mutko had been very furious at knowing about the installation. The state officials do not have any relation to it. "Ъ" source said that the exhibition had been quickly dismantled. The lawyers who saw the installation said that the installation violated both civil and criminal law.
Interfax
The installation organized by the youth movements caused a very negative reaction of the Russian Public Chamber members. "I think that the members of the Chamber after violations caused by the youth movements in relation of one of their collegues (Nikolai Svanidze-Interfax) must boycott the forum work at Seliger, said Pavel Gusev in the media, chairman of the Commission on the information politics and freedom of speech.
He said that such actions could not take place in a democratic society. Svanidze said that installation had been done by bad-bred children.
Alla Gerber, the member of the Russian Common House and the head of the "Holocaust" fond told Interfax that the organizers of the installation were hooligans who did not know who national socialists were.

One of the forum participants, the leader of "Young Russia" movement, Maksim
Michenko and the deputy of the State Duma said that the installation had been initiated
by the youth organization "Stal", according to BBC Russia.
Vladimir Mutko, Russian Human rights activist said that all the organizers of the
installation must be punished.
Ella Pamfilova, chairman of the presidential council, said that she was scared of the fact
that such young people would rise to power some time later".
