This is starting to get comical. Do the Russian govt not understand Japanese...anymore then anyone else understands the Japanese.
As usual in Russia.
Russia officials refer to the "United Nations Optional Protocol to the Convention on the Rights of the Child on the Sale of Children, Child Prostitution and Child Pornography" that Russia sign on September 26 of 2012 and US sign on July 5 of 2000.

According to the protocol ( https://treaties.un.org/doc/source/docs/A_Res_54_263-E.pdf ) ANNEX II, article 2 (c), page 8:
Child pornography means any representation, by whatever means, of a child engaged in real or simulated explicit sexual activities or any representation of the sexual parts of a child for primarily sexual purposes.

So, they treat this as wide as possible. They even plan to consider some texts as child pornography... And there is not only hentai forbidden, manga also forbidden and I think anime at all will be forbidden too...
