Actually, in the Soviet Union it was not banned by the law. Instead, the propaganda of Nazism was banned. So, one couldn't use swastika for that purpose, but freely could do that in historical or cultural context.

The ban law was adopted in Russia just about a year ago, as their government attempt to be "closer to the international community". Yet, for some reason no one told them, that stupidly coping a stupid ideas is no good at all...
