The decision to impose fines for defamation of traditional values indicates that Russia has completely forgotten the results of the Soviet experiment with the imposition of rigid ideological guidelines (which, of course, include "traditional values").
In the Soviet Union, of course, not "traditional values" in their current understanding were implanted, but the "moral code of the builders of communism", which was developed to educate a new person and regulate moral norms in Soviet society. The "Code" system consisted of 12 principles of communist morality, which were included in the Third Program of the CPSU and adopted at the 22nd Party Congress in 1961. At the same time, traditional ethical norms were easily seen in a number of commandments, and scholars repeatedly evoked parallels between the code and Christian commandments, despite its secular-Marxist character.
The Soviet ideological apparatus was extremely powerful and maximally covered the entire society; The norms from the "Moral Code of the Builders of Communism" were introduced into the consciousness of the citizens starting from kindergarten throughout the entire education process (high school, special and higher), and then throughout a person's life in the Soviet Union.
Nevertheless, a significant part of the population of the Soviet Union enviously watched the "rotting West", sought to buy European and American clothes (especially iconic jeans) and shoes, listen to Western music, watch foreign films and flip through glossy magazines brought by sailors.
The country fought this hard: the music of many artists was banned, rock and roll, and in the 1950s jazz and "hipsters"; There were administrative fines and punishments, as well as discussions at party meetings, Komsomol and others and "moral abdications".
However, despite all this, in the mid-1980s there was almost nothing left of the ideological basis of the Soviet Union in the minds of most of the citizens of the great country (including its leadership); People wanted abundance, a fake "beautiful life", etc.
