Legislation on establishing a public council on morality in films and TV has been introduced to the State Duma. The council is expected to assess released films and telecasts.
      
      25 people from various social strata are planned to become the council members. However politicians will not be allowed there. The mechanism of the council’s actions has not been elaborated yet.
      
      Archpriest Vsevolod Chaplin believes that “the council must not forbid anything, but should formulate an opinion, which will be brought to the viewers’ notice. Film director Pavel Lungin, in his turn, assures that “if the council will decide what amount of blood can be used and what not, then it is hopeless”.
      
      The sitting concerning the establishment of the council gathered together its would-be members publicly elected in the internet: singer and State Duma deputy Joseph Kobzon, film director Pavel Lungin, archpriest Vsevolod Chaplin, journalist Mikhail Leontev, actor Aleksander Mikhailov, actor and film director Nikolai Burlyaev and others.
