'Evil' magazine attacked by Russian MPs for cartoon version of nanny beheading child
FURIOUS Russian MPs have denounced a British online magazine as "evil" after it published a cartoon version of nanny who beheaded a four-year-old girl.
The cartoon depicts the hijab-clad Gyulchehra Bobokulova clutching the severed head of the child
The lawmakers from Vladimir Putin's ruling United Russia party accused the publication Vive Charlie! of provoking "hatred" in society.
The cartoon depicts the hijab-clad Gyulchehra Bobokulova, 38, a citizen of Uzbekistan, clutching the severed head of Anastasia Meshcheryakova, the child she was hired to care for.
Olga Batalina, MP, said: "The shocking cover of the English magazine Vive Charlie, where the 'bearers of European values' allowed themselves to mock the girl who died tragically, is not just an evil and cynical trick.
"It is a deliberate shaking of the moral values of society.

"It is an intention to put into people's minds the fact that moral ugliness is a normal way of self-expression.
"If the Europeans have not lost their moral immunity yet, they will reject this publication in the same way as a healthy and strong body gets rid of tumours and abscesses."
Russian MPs have criticised the magazine
Gyulchehra Bobokulova smiled in court
Another MP Irina Yarovaya said that the nanny was mentally sick and her action in beheading the child was a tragedy.
But the image in the British publication amounted to "mocking the victim" and replicating the "ugly madness" of the killing.

"It mirrors their own soul which actually differs very little from the one of mentally sick criminals," she said of the magazine.
"These provocateurs are not just happy like vultures about murders, they foster the feelings of hatred for the sake of new crimes."
