According to many information sites, a few years ago the Netherlands court banned the show and distribution of the Soviet children's film for discrimination based on sexual orientation. We checked if it was true.

Here is what some resources report: “The list of Soviet films prohibited for showing in the West has been replenished. Another sacrifice in the war of European policy of social tolerance and multiculturalism against homophobia fell beloved by all the "guest from the future." The reason for such a harsh court decision was the lawsuit filed by the international non -governmental human rights organization Human Rights Watch.

Claims of human rights activists sound so absurd that it would be simply impossible to believe in it, if not knowing other, no less absurd claims. So, according to the Dutch representatives of the mentioned organization, the children's multi -part film "Guest from the Future" promotes no less discrimination based on sexual orientation. As evidence, the plaintiff provided the conclusion of a cultural examination, which states that "in the audiovisual work studied by experts there are hidden signs of the presence of propaganda of sexual discrimination in view of the main negative characters and contrasting them with positive heterosexual heroes of two persons belonging to the same social group and experiencing them Mutual affection. "

On the basis of the conclusion of Dutch expert-culturalists, the court decided to satisfy the lawsuit and introduce a ban on broadcasting on the air and distributing on the physical carriers of the film "Guest from the Future" throughout Holland. Well, in order not to injure the subtle mental organization of representatives of sexual minorities. ” Further, it is reported that earlier the court made a similar decision in relation to the film “Timur and his team”.

The indicated news was widespread eight to nine years ago, although it is also found in our days. The earliest preserved Cases Its references are dated the middle of July 2012. Moreover, which is characteristic, on the organization’s website Human Rights Watch, supposedly submitting a lawsuit, there is no such information. Instead, many relatively early resources refer to Fognews.ru news portal.

So, on the news of RIA Fognews about the recognition of a fairy tale about Pinocchio extremist and inciting religious discord reacted Nikolai Svanidze, writing an appropriate article in the "Daily Journal". The Ministry of Communications had to refute the “news” about the mandatory registration of blogs. And the leadership of the Chechen Republic planned to file a lawsuit in connection with the publication of information on the abolition of the housing and communal services in this region. In addition, the agency predicted the resignation of the Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation Anatoly Serdyukov. However, after a protracted period of financial problems on September 4, 2014, the site was closed, and the domain was resold.

Note that in the same summer of 2012 the media circled the media news About the ban on the shows of the animated series "Well, wait a minute!" In Russia at any time, except for the night. This was allegedly caused by scenes of violence and smoking, which is replete with the animated series. Later this information, which was born from the incorrect interpretation of the words of an employee of the VGTRK, refuted In Roskomnadzor. And the rental rating of 18+, which was referred to in the media, as it turned out, was assigned not to the Soviet cartoon, but to the Swedish Porn film With the same name.
