That's the Russian religious folk's idea of the American-style preaching. Every existing American church or, especially, cult came to prozelitise in Russia immediately after the USSR's fall. After several years the nuts were tightened and nobody here complained -they had been so fed-up.

For a Russian Christian even referring to Lord Jesus Christ as simply 'Jesus', as it's done in the USA, is semi-blasphemous. They may refer to him as 'Christos' (Christ) but never as 'Jesus'.

A sermon for Russian must be more solemn than the usual American "Jesus loves you, wow!"

As for the bill itself: even the Russian Orthodox Church - de facto the established Church in Russia, opposes it.
