Some of the provisions are too vague, said deputy minister Alexey Volin in an interview with the Echo of Moscow radio station.

He also added that there is a law currently in place which bans obscenities in public places, which covers mass media, so the bill adopted by the national parliament in first reading a month ago is basically redundant.   

Under the draft, legal entities will face a fine of 20,000-200,000 roubles, senior staff of newspapers and TV stations – 5,000-20,000 roubles, and ordinary people will have to pay 2,000-3,000 roubles in case they swear on air.
