The Ministry of Culture will be processed by the Law on Mate

The Minister of Culture Vladimir Medinsky said that his ministry will study the practice of applying the law on the ban on obscene vocabulary and offer amendments to it.

“It is very difficult to come up with perfect legislation. Now we will study law enforcement practice and offer something that will be fulfilled and so that the law is not violated. The number of requirements can be reduced in something, but the responsibility for non-compliance is tightened, ” TASS quotes Medinsky.

At the same time, the minister noted that "the return of the mat to television, to the theater, literature, in the movie of the wide show, in my opinion, is completely unacceptable." “Other modes are festival cinema,“ Children up to 18 ”, where there may be exceptions, there are reasonable author's exceptions. What degree of rationality they have - we will discuss, ”Medinsky said.

On January 20, Directors Fedor Bondarchuk, Nikita Mikhalkov, Karen Shakhnazarov, Sergey Miroshnichenko, Oleg Tabakov and Vladimir Khotinenko turned to Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev with a request to amend the law on the use of obscene vocabulary in art works, providing for “the possibility of issuing a rental certificate with age-related restrictions“ 18+ ”for 18+” films that, in order to implement an artistic plan, may contain obscene expressions. ”

Medvedev instructed the Ministry of Culture to work out this issue, the State Duma opposed the changes. The head of the Duma Committee on Family, Women and Children, Elena Mizulina, said that "an attempt is being prepared for us, parliamentarians, to refuse what we adopted five years ago, to protect children about harmful information."

The law, which entered into force on July 1, 2014, prohibits the issuance of rolling certificates with foul language and public screening of films without a rental certificate. Violation of the law is punishable by fines of up to 50 thousand rubles (for legal entities).
