This is how he commented on the initiation of criminal cases in Russia with stand-up performances and the publication of provocative photographs against the backdrop of temples.
“As for jokes, it’s hard for me to comment on something, because sometimes it’s just nonsense, when, for example, according to this or that joke or this or that statement, cases are initiated,” RIA Novosti quotes Medvedev.
At the same time, the politician urged to take into account the traditions in Russia as a multinational country.
He recalled that ideas about some moral aspects differ, for example, in Moscow and in the Caucasus.
“If certain publications offend the ideas of an entire nation, this must be taken into account, even if it seems to us that this is a very conservative position,” Medvedev stressed.
Earlier it was reported that investigators charged three participants in a candid photo session at a mosque in Moscow with insulting the feelings of believers.
