The Federation Council has approved a law protecting traditional values in the film industry

14:27; 25 July 2025 year

The members of the Federation Council at the plenary session approved a law to protect traditional values in cinema. According to it, the Ministry of Culture will decide whether to issue or refuse to issue a film rental certificate. Films that do not comply with these requirements will not be shown to Russians.

The Ministry of Culture will decide the fate of not only new films in the film industry, but also films with a previously issued rental certificate. The rental or screening of a film without a mark from the agency will be equivalent to the rental and screening of a film without a rental certificate.

The law will come into force on March 1, 2026.
