A new regulation has been introduced in Russia that prohibits the distortion of sacred icons in digital and print platforms. The law aims to preserve the dignity of spiritual icons and sacred signs that hold deep spiritual significance for millions of citizens.

As stipulated by the regulation that any depiction that ridicules, distorts, or twists these symbols in movies, TV shows, websites, and newspapers is now prohibited by law. Authorities argue that such distortions can incite social tension, offend religious communities, and weaken civil peace.

It extends to both Russian and overseas productions distributed within Russia, and imposes sanctions for violations from warnings to platform bans.

Religious leaders from multiple faiths, including the Russian Orthodox Church, Muslim Ulema, Buddhist Sanghas, and Jewish councils, have largely welcomed the measure, saying it upholds the integrity of their faith practices.

Skeptics raise alarms that the law may be deployed to stifle creative freedom under the guise of religious protection. Lawyers are scrutinizing how broadly the term distortion will be interpreted, and whether it could restrict comedies, documentaries, or curriculum-related media.

The government has stated that the purpose is not to restrict but to encourage religious tolerance among pluralistic belief systems in a multicultural society.

Enforcement will be carried out by state media commissions in consultation with religious organizations, who will be called upon to advise on borderline cases.

As the law takes effect, the the population is asked to submit reports of illegal depictions, while filmmakers and site (https://live-nine9.com/bbs/board.php?bo_table=free&wr_id=327489) publishers are strongly encouraged to adhere to published standards to steer clear of legal risks.
