The Ministry of Culture has forbidden distribution of movies that use sexually explicit language in their titles. Film producers, however, argue that the term is too vague.










This just plain ridiculous, I see how the Russian government is becoming more and more autocratic and dictatorial wise. Now the war on pornography then what? a moral police? I hope people in Russia don´t fall in this stupid game. These controveries are made by the government to distract people from what is really going on in the country like loosing civil liberties and corruption which the governrment hasn´t takle yet, not even a little bit. Before Putin ascending to power, at least people could vote for their Governors, now they can´t. Moreover, there is a discussion on whether there should be elections for mayor in every city, then what? Presidential seat is going to be for life? so no votes even for president. It´s intriguing how every time the central Government is lauching policies restricting the people´s rights suddenly you see news like this. It´s scary how the misnistry of culture has accused artists of offending Russian soul, yes I know it sounds crazy but there is a law protecting "Russian soul", just because they used national symbols in an inappropiate way. And as always the law is very ambiguous, so any one can be an offerder. Don´t you see people, that this is a TRAP. The Ministry of Culture is really a Ministry of "Controlling minds" I strongly recomend reading like "1984" and "Animal Farm" by George Orwell or "The epic of Latin America" by John A. CROW, especially the part of dictatorial regimes that came right after independence. You´ll see the similarities between dictators and current Russian politicians. Also watch "V for Vendetta", it´s not the best film but talks about this topic.
