Russia is so free and so democratic ... Just look at Putin and his flat tax ... nevermind that Russians would even consider throwing you in jail until you pay a 10-17$ fine for kissing in public ...

Orion but it is stupid hoax. Never no major of no city will pass such of legislature. He just kill himself politically. Anyone russian will make joke of him for many years to come.
They will call him a gay, a lame head or just old virgin. All these are strong dirides so they destroy man's reputation so no one will vote for him including womaen. No russian woman wil vote for the old virgin or gay. No way.

To bad, better hurry to Moscow and inform all teenagers in Victory Park to stop kissing.

Kissing Ban Denied

MOSCOW (MT) -- Moscow city officials strongly denied newspaper reports that they are planning to ban kissing on the city's metro and other public places to improve morality.

Stolichnaya Vechernyaya Gazeta reported last week that the idea of a ban came from city education committee official Tatyana Maximova. The newspaper also reported that with the ban the city would impose fines for violators.

But Sergei Tsoi, a spokesman for Mayor Yury Luzhkov, said Monday that the report was a provocation. "I state officially that such document has never been proposed at City Hall and has not even been discussed," Tsoi told Interfax.

Tsoi also said that the city government's lawyers would look into the report and decide whether to take the newspaper to court
