We all know that the only thing Russia hates more than the Western World is Anime. People have been trying to ban anime series in Russia for more than 10 years now. Will they make it happen this time? Let's find out.

St. Petersburg’s Kolpinsky District Court has banned the distribution of the Japanese animes Death Note and Inuyashiki. It is still unclear whether or not this ban applies to the anime series as such or just the content posted on. Also on Wednesday, January 20th, St. Petersburg’s Kolpinsky District Court is considered lawsuits seeking to ban distribution of the anime series Naruto, Terror in Tokyo, Elfen Lied, and Ishuzoku Reviewers. These lawsuits are grounded in claims that these series contain scenes of cruelty, murder, and violence. During the hearing on January 20, the anime Death Note was declared “potentially dangerous for a modern child” by Oleg Erlikh, an expert from the prosecutor’s office. Parents in Russia have been demanding a ban on Death Note since 2013, following the death by suicide of a teen who had a collection of the manga. The war against anime is long and bloddy, so stay tuned for more episodes of this epic confrontation. This particular court session was luckily recorded and streamed live so I was able to watch it. And it was so bizarre that I had to share it with you.


Hey there. Somehow you found my video and decided to watch it. So let me introduce myself. I'm Sergei and I'm from Russia. My channel is about my native country. I want to tell English-speaking viewers about the real Russia, about its past and present. Unfortunately, you can find a lot of propaganda about Russia on the Internet, both from the Russian media and from the Western ones. I want to tell you about Russia, as it really is, the country in which I was born, grew up, and lived all my life.
