Russia is a very large and popular country
especially in recent years with the media frenzies that have been started over different rules and laws in
Russia in this episode I'm sharing with you ten of the strangest
Surprising and just plain controversial laws in Russia. How's it going everybody?

So starting off in this episode of right away you may want to be careful what you say about anybody in the government
so Russia's new Criminal Code actually expands the definition of treason and now if you are a critic of the
Government that can actually turn you into a traitor so be careful what you say about the government
Also as of July of 2014. There's a law that came into effect that bans the use of
profanity in theaters and films and in other media and like bloggers in Russia
They're actually forbidden to use any sort of profanity at all
And yeah, if you're found guilty you face paying some fines now
Did you know that it is illegal to drive a dirty car in the city of chilla Binks so guys yeah?
I hear this driving our dirty car can get you a fine of upwards to 2000 rubles. That's about
62 dollars u.s.. There's also another rule in Russia where the
Patronym can only be placed
immediately after the given name of somebody
So let's just say for example if your name was Ivan Ivanov Ivanovich that would be completely unacceptable
and if you're not familiar with grammar and just like me I had to like just google it before I filmed this video a
patronym or a patronymic is actually the
component of a personal name based on the given name of a person's father or other female
Ancestor and probably you ladies out there that love lingerie well check this sale and important production of lace
Panties is completely
Prohibited so like allegedly like lace underwear for women does not comply with the technical requirements
that were adopted in Russia now probably one of the most controversial laws in this episode is the
Anti-gay law now this law prevents a distribution of non-traditional sexual
relationships, and now it's said that Russia passed this law in order to keep the idea of non-traditional sexual relationships away from
minors now this law makes it illegal to equate straight and gay relationships as well as
Distribute any sort of material that is on gay rights?
So for all the bloggers out there that get more than three thousand daily visitors and want to remain anonymous
Because of maybe the content that you're posting while it guess what you're not allowed to do that in Russia
regulations that pass in 2014 actually require
blogs that have over 3,000 daily visitors to actually register as a media outlet and give personal data and
Information so if you want to remain anonymous just make sure that your daily visitors don't exceed that number
Now here's an interesting one President Obama like the former US president. He's actually banned from entering
Chechnya so Chechnya is a small Russian Republic and the former US President Barack Obama is actually really banned from entering the country
The president of Chechnya posted on Instagram that the ban of President Obama was in response to how the u.s.
acted in countries like Iraq in Syria
This one's kind of funny, but it comes in no surprise so all means that poke fun at political figures
Well of course that amir putin is definitely bad and outlawed in russia
Yeah, putin wasn't happy when he saw that clown face meme of himself. No they didn't go too
Well, and the final strange surprising and controversial law that I want to share about russia
Is that yoga has been and in several parts?
Why well apparently the officials feel that yoga?
actually promotes the spread of new religions and
Cults and they want to really limit the types of religious cults and movements that pop up in Russia
Yeah, so that was pretty strange pretty
