OREANDA-NEWS In the first reading, the State Duma adopted a bill prohibiting the depiction of religious objects without appropriate symbols, if any. This is reported by RBC.
State Duma Deputy Speaker Anna Kuznetsova, who introduced the bill, explained that the situation of missing crosses in images had become so systemic that it was popularly dubbed the crusade. According to her, if the law is passed, then all official confessions of Russia will fall under its effect.
"Thus, the protected religious symbols will include the Orthodox cross, as well as other symbols inherent in the traditional religions of Russia," she added.
On May 25, Vyacheslav Volodin, Chairman of the lower house of the Russian parliament, announced the upcoming development of the draft law. As a justification for the initiative, the speaker pointed to the facts of blurring religious symbols.
