The State Duma said that a liter of Blanenka was "blasphemy", called the library a "sacred place" and reported that they were working on a bill on "what is good and what is bad". Its chairman, Nina Ustenina, spoke about it at the working group meeting of the Committee for Family Protection. She stated that Vladimir Putin's decree on "traditional values" has become "a kind of criterion for the adoption of all laws now submitted to the State Duma." And she criticized the rave that took place last weekend at the Russian State Library. Lenin "If someone wants to celebrate Halloween, please let them celebrate it if it's a traditional value for them. But why do it in the Lenin Library? They don't understand that this is a holy place. It's a museum where probably all the best are stored. After all, there are rare books and manuscripts there. It seems to me that it is like sacrilege," said Ustenina, complaining that "there is no law that prohibits doing this." She said that earlier the Committee for the Protection of the Family had doubts about whether separate laws were needed regarding what are traditional values: "It is absolutely clear to us that respect for the elderly, respect for the young, respect for historical memory, a sense of patriotism, love for the homeland are obvious things. But no, for some it turns out that it is not obvious." "Therefore, now, together with the Ministry of Justice, we are still working on a bill so that, like Marshak and Chukovsky, we will understand what is good and what is bad. It's impossible for them to absorb it with their mother's milk, with the word of the teacher and with what they absorb here in the public space from the media, telling them - okay, then let's be the law." She recalled that laws had already been passed banning "LGBT propaganda" and "ideology without children". "In other words, what is evil is correctly defined in the law. But the good thing is, it turns out that he is not very successful in the education process," said Ustanina.
