Podoby cenzúry v súčasnej ruskej literatúre

Year, pages: 2018, 38 - 57

After centuries of first tsarist and then communist censorship in Russia, censorship was finally prohibited by the Constitution in 1993. The censorship-free 1990s (with all the pros and cons) were followed by a search for new mechanisms of censorship and new forms of prohibition by the authorities to determine a certain control of the state over the mass media and various forms of art, including literature. New legislation (the 2013 law banning propaganda of non-traditional sexual relationships and denial of traditional family values among minors, the 2014 law banning foul language in the arts, the 2016 amendments of anti-extremism law) has become one such mechanism. On the one hand, the laws result in authors’ self-censorship; on the other, they provide not only the authorities but also individuals, activist groups or various citizen or religious associations with the opportunity to sue the author or the publisher of a literary work in court.
