At the end of January, the Argayashsky District Court of the Chelyabinsk Region, at the request of the prosecutor's office, banned the link to the anime series Deadman Wonderland on the website jut-su.com. The human rights project Roskomsvoboda drew attention to this.
What exactly was the reason for the blocking is unknown, since the court decision was not published on its website. According to the retelling of the cartoon's plot, an unknown person kills high school students, which is blamed on the protagonist, who ends up in prison.
Previously, the courts in St. Petersburg banned references to the anime Hell Girl, Party of the Dead: Tormented Souls, Why Are You Here, Teacher? , «Death Note», «False Conclusions», «Darwin's Game», «Sweet Life», «Elven Song», «Interspecies Reviewers» and «Devil's Riddle».
The main reasons for blocking, according to the prosecutor's office, were that these cartoons «are aimed at creating motivation in minors for destructive illegal behavior, including the use of violence against others.»
