Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a total ban on "propaganda of non-traditional sexual relations" and transgender transition, writes TASS. On November 24, the State Duma adopted a similar decision.
The documents provide for a ban on the promotion of "non-traditional relationships", pedophilia and gender reassignment on the Internet, media, books, movies and advertising. According to the law, a system of fines for citizens from 50 to 800 thousand rubles has been introduced. For legal entities, the fine can reach 10 million rubles.
At the same time, The Insider drew attention to the fact that the document does not contain any definition of the word "propaganda". This allows deputies to come up with new bans that will likely affect not only media reports, posts on social networks and video games : the current version of the law will allow fines, and in case of repeated violation, punish with real terms everyone whose lifestyle seems wrong to the authorities.
