Fines for defaming traditional values will be introduced in Russia. The fines will be up to 700 thousand rubles.
The State Duma supported the first reading of the law on responsibility for the distribution of incorrect films, TV series and other works.
Fines:
- Citizens: from 5,000 to 10,000 rubles (for repeated violations - up to 150,000 rubles);.
- Clerks: from 50,000 to 100,000 rubles (up to 400,000 rubles if repeated);.
- Legal entities and organizations: from 500,000 to 700,000 rubles (up to 3 million rubles if repeated).
Among the concessions, fines can be avoided if you remove the work within 24 hours after the inspection or cancellation of the rental certificate.
Also, fines will not be applied to old works and films with a valid distribution certificate.
