New law in Russia protects the legacy of Boris Yeltsin.
Reading
The Russian Parliament passed a law to protect Boris Yeltsin's honor and dignity. This means insulting Yeltsin will be punished as severely as insulting the current president.
A politician named Vitaly Pravdin wrote the law. He said people have been disrespectful to Yeltsin, who brought freedom, democracy, and made tennis popular.
The law forbids criticizing any of Yeltsin's decisions, including his economic policies and his famous speech in America. A special commission will be created to make sure people follow the law.
This commission will be made up of important people from the Yeltsin Center. They will watch social media for disrespectful comments or images about Yeltsin.
People who break the law could be punished in a few ways. They might have to pay a fine, do community service, or even lose their internet access.
