I thought they had banned The Hentai Prince and the Stoney Cat for a minute....
The problem is at least in my experience hentai and harem in general true to cover all there bases. They usually feature at least one loli looking character in them. |

Here we go again...... For our government a fragment with panties in it is a HENTAI!!!
They are trying to block every little thing here now. Our next "anti-piracy" law in which they are going "to block websites with illegal video content"(and fansub sites can be easily blocked too). |

I'm pretty sure they banned a hentai anime, not an anime with panties in it. |

No s&&&. It's hentai. What were they expecting from porn ? At least nothing of value was lost. |

There are historically valuable hentai, like Lolita Anime and Cream Lemon. The latter has some great stories in it, too. And then there's the Boku no Pico trilogy, which is just a triumph of direction and style regardless of genre. Hentai is less often culturally or historically significant, but it's hardly antonymous with legitimate worth. |

Several problems with this report:
- we do not know what the show(s) is/are - banning 13 episodes all at once sounds like a regular 1-cour show; this means it would NOT be actual hentai - their description has nothing concrete:
.. completely subjective evaluations. People could be labeling Strike Witches as "hentai". And what exactly is "exploit interest to sex"? What does "pornographic" mean? Way too many prudes are quick to label ecchi as "porn" - I have seen Russians inaccurately label anything ecchi as "hentai", such as youtube clips - furthermore, it was posted in full public view on Vkontakte and wasn't taken down until the government stepped in. Vkontakte does NOT allow porn. Hence, it is again, highly dubious these were actual hentai - once again, trying to add flame to the fire by conflating "children" with young adults as per the report, the show--which is most likely NOT hentai--featured persons from their own evaluations, ages 14 to 18. Furthermore, was that just a guesstimate or something they got translators to look at? But, why would it make a difference if one can assign any age? Of course, it still shouldn't matter even if it were real hentai.
Yeah, let's start punishing people and banning and criminalizing things based on personal preferences. 
Value is subjective -- and that is an objective fact. |

Rather than worrying about animated children, perhaps the Russian Federation might want to consider the real-life exploitation of its own adolescent girls as the New York Times documented late last year: http://www.nytimes.com/2012/09/12/opinion/teenage-girls-audition-to-be-models-in-siberia.html
I highly doubt many of these recruits will ever end up in modeling careers. Prostitution and porn seem more likely outcomes. |

The cultural and historical value bit always appears in the laws because "Romeo and Juliet", "Genji Monogatari", and probably half the classical literature of whatever country you are from features minors having sexual intercourse. So if they followed their own ban laws, they would have to burn a lot of what is considered compulsory reading at school. So that "culture and history" bit is to weasel out of doing this, rather than an actual attempt to measure the "value" of whatever they are trying to ban at the time.

Yeah I'm glad you brought up the sex trafficking in Russia, I heard underage kids is the big problem in Russia (and most of Eastern Europe). Russia decide to crack down on hentai featuring 2D animated characters that looks like kid, but yet ignoring the real exploited children. Do the Russian politicians not know the difference?
