If you want to translate a movie in Russian language, you might have to give it a second thought! Recently Russian President Vladimir Putin announced a law which bans the use of foul language from movies, concerts and other entertainment programs shown in Russia. This decision brought resentment in the entertainment industry.
According to the new law, any new movie which contains indecent language will not be given the certificate for distribution across the Russian population which means it will not be released in the theaters in Russia. In addition to this, any book, CD or movie containing foul language must be labelled as “contains foul language”. Moreover, people who are caught denying this rule and using foul language without labelling, will be fined up to $70.
Officials supporting foul language in movies will be fined $40 and the businesses will be fined about $1500 and will face 3 months business suspension with additional fine. According to the government the initiative will aid to preserve and develop Russian culture and language. Many critics say that this step by the government limits freedom of speech and expression and makes Russian community more conservative. They say that it will make the culture boring and staid. They are of the view that bad words are a part of every language and exist in everyday speech and with this initiative Russian entertainment industry will no longer be able to show genuine expressions and dialogues. Instead, the artists now will have to let go the genuineness in order to please censor boards.
