A Moscow court fined the popular Russian movie streaming website Kinopoisk 10 million rubles ($110,000) on Tuesday for charges related to “propaganda” of LGBTQ+ lifestyles and pedophilia. The Tagansky District Court imposed a 3 million ruble ($33,000) fine on Kinopoisk for “propaganda of non-traditional sexual relations and preferences, as well as sex changes.” The same court imposed a separate fine of 7 million rubles ($77,000) for “propaganda of pedophilia.” The court did not specify what content led to the fines, but last month, a different Moscow court fined Kinopoisk CEO Alexander Dunayevsky 800,000 rubles ($8,800). According to media reports, the fine was connected to the streaming platform distributing the 2015 Gaspar Noe drama “Love,” which features a young adolescent character in explicit scenes.
