The Volgograd

the verification it was established that an international postal
mailing
containing the book "What does the Bible really teach?",
published in
Pennsylvania (Germany, January 2013), arrived at the address of
a woman
resident of Volgograd.
According to the
Federal List of Extremist Materials, posted on the official
website of the
Russian Ministry of Justice
(http://minjust.ru/ru/extremist-materials), a book
titled "What does the Bible really teach?" is included in the
aforesaid list. Thus the book is literature that is forbidden
for circulation.
On the basis of
the results of the verification, the Volgograd transport
prosecutor's office
opened a case of administrative violation of law against the
woman who ordered
the book, which is based on article 16.3 of the Code of the
Russian federation

In accordance with a decision of the Krasnoarmeisk district court of Volgograd, the women was assessed an administrative penalty in the form of confiscation of the item of administrative violation of law. (tr. by PDS, posted 28 September 2017)
