According to the Vedomosti business daily, Olga Baranets, the public commissioner for the protection of the family, filed a complaint with the Interior Ministry that accused Netflix of breaching the country’s 2013 law.
The legislation bans “propaganda on non-traditional sexual relations” for Russians younger than 18 when airing LGBTQ-focused series with a “16+” label – essentially prohibiting the “promotion” of same-sex lifestyles and relationships to minors.
Netflix’s “colorful collection of films and TV series tells about the lives of gays, lesbians, bisexuals and transgender people,” Baranets told the aforementioned outlet.
