Russia bans British satire film about Soviet history
| Monday's screening of the film, which was released in the UK in October, was attended by members of parliament as well as representatives from Russian cinema.
Many were unhappy with what they saw.
Yelena Drapeko, deputy head of the lower house of parliament's culture committee, told RBK news she had "never seen anything so disgusting in my life".

| old news. It's kinda surprising it wasn't banned in Verifiable or Belarus though.
| Have the brits not more important things to do? Like lube their anus for post Brexit assfuck, or clean up the garbage which chinese will not burn for them anymore?

Why should you engage in satiring other countries well known historical events and not mind your own bussiness? Because the 'art' keyword justifies anything?
| That's a shame for our country. I think if someone in our ministry of culture feels offended, he should suggest to make a satirical film about British history or something, but banning films even when they are not against our laws... That's stupid.
| Oh, now I have to watch that film!
>Streisand Effect.
| Well, i watched it, and its more scamming than satyric.
| Gee, Russia pushing revisionist history? Whooda thought!?
| There is no good publicity or bad publicity. Just publicity.
| Move along and do something productive instead of reiterating a meme so you can feel confident about yourselves.

Because we can, and should? Organizations and people who cannot make fun of themselves are likely full of themselves.
On top of Stalin being part of Russia's darker history. This decision is every bit as retarded as North Korea's reaction to "The Interview," just minus the hacking.

Because it's fun to see how almost the same people get triggred by satire about „their“ nation, that jerk off to mohammed caricatures, making fun of or spreading hate against gypsies, gays, plack people, etc.
Fucking hypocrites."
| Hey guys I’m the former Gulag warden who banned that movie and we promise we didn’t ban it because it mocks our leader god rest his soul but because it’s another Steve Martin film that our country doesn’t need. I may have gulag’d a terf here and there but trust me when I say an hour and fifty nine minutes of Steve Martin poop jokes is the worst thing to happen since Stalin told everyone to freeze our seeds. Anyway I hope this cleared up that assumption that the Tom Clancy game news

I can see the news already. Satire Movie about Papa Stalin fails at its mission.
Oh well better luck next time. Too much poop is bad for health.

| The Russian release of British comedy film The Death of Stalin has been shelved following a screening before senior figures on Monday night.
The Russian attendees complained that the satire contained "ideological warfare" and "extremism".
The film's distribution certificate was withdrawn, effectively cancelling its planned Thursday release.
The culture ministry told Interfax news agency it had informed the film's Russian distributor, Volga, of the decision.
