é luó sī俄罗斯jìn yìng禁映“bù不fú hé符合chuán tǒng传统jià zhí价值”de的diàn yǐng电影
Starting from March 1, 2026, Russia will implement a new law banning the distribution and screening of films considered 'incompatible with traditional Russian spirit and moral values.'
This law applies not only to cinemas but also to online video platforms and social media.
The Russian Ministry of Culture can refuse to issue screening permits for films, so some foreign and domestic Russian films may not be shown.
Reports say officials will pay special attention to content involving 'non-traditional relationships' or 'disregard for family values.'
It is still unclear which films will be fully restricted, but several movies have already been affected.
For example, the historical film 'Nuremberg' was originally scheduled to be released in Russia but later did not receive a permit.
The film 'Accident' also failed approval; officials said it contains content violating Russian laws.
The documentary 'Parents Are Here' and the romantic comedy 'Three's Company' were also canceled from release.
For Russian audiences, there may be fewer films to watch in the future, and online platforms may have to remove many works.
