The lawyer recalled that in Russia, the blocking of resources that promote non-traditional sexual orientation among adolescents is quite successful.

Restricting information about pedophilia is a logical next step, Yarmush said.

“Any information that contains propaganda of this inclination, this sexual perversion, should also be blocked,” the expert added.

She also pointed to the availability of relevant developments in identifying and blocking such resources from the competent authorities. 

“I support this initiative and hope that it will be introduced very quickly in the form of amendments to the legislation,” the specialist concluded.

Earlier, State Duma Deputy for Security and Anti-Corruption Vasily Piskarev took the initiative to toughen the punishment for promoting pedophilia.
