Nabat media and its editor-in-chief Vladimir Sakharovsky were drawn up reports under Part 2 of Article 13.21 of the Code of Administrative Offences of the Russian Federation (distribution of information harmful to children) for their material about the exhibition of paintings by deputy Marina Shvedunova, which allegedly should have been marked by age restriction.
