"The Russian government gave a positive response to a piece of legislation that equates maps “disputing the territorial integrity of the Russian Federation” with extremist materials, reports news agency TASS, citing a document to which the agency has access.
The bill proposes labeling as extremist any maps or images which do not show Crimea, the Kuril Islands, and other territories (most likely the annexed regions of Ukraine) as subjects of the Russian Federation.
According to TASS, the government supported the bill on the condition that it be revised. Authorities wanted to know whether the bill will also ban maps which appeared before the “acceptance” of the aforementioned territories into the Russian Federation."![mocking-smiley-emoticon[1].gif](https://www.houseofpolitics.com/data/attachments/2/2526-96d6c56d12d0ae466604fc0805f58a06.jpg?hash=ltbFbRLQrk "mocking-smiley-emoticon[1].gif")
