A significant portion of Russians, ranging from 20% to 60%, reportedly use the services of magicians, witches, seers, and psychics. These activities are considered fraudulent and should be banned from advertising.
Key Points:
- Fraudulent Nature: According to Alexander Spiridonov, a State Duma deputy and author of the proposed bill, such services have a detrimental impact on the mental and physical health of Russians. He emphasized that occult services contradict President Vladimir Putin’s decree on the preservation and development of traditional values.
- Proposed Penalties: The bill proposes administrative fines for advertisers of occult services. Individuals could face fines ranging from 4,000 to 20,000 rubles, while legal entities could be fined between 100,000 and 500,000 rubles.
- Support from Colleagues: Deputy Vitaly Milonov expressed his support for Spiridonov’s initiative. He believes that banning such advertisements will significantly reduce the clientele of these service providers. Milonov recalled that he proposed a similar bill five years ago, which was not supported by some structures. Nevertheless, he remains convinced that Russia needs to regulate occult and magical activities.
