Alcohol consumption in Russia is amongst the highest in the world, and the new ban is designed to help change that. It prohibits the advertising of alcohol on TV, on radio, on public transport and on billboards. It also applies to the internet. And from January next year, it will cover up print media.

俄罗斯的酒类消费量是全世界最大的,新禁令也正是为了改变这个现状。禁令禁止在电视、广播、公共交通和广告牌上展示酒类广播,网络也是如此。从明年一月份,平面媒体也将实施此禁令。只有商店和小卖部可以给酒类做广告。一位专家告诉BBC,这项禁令将会打击合法制造商,但对黑市商家无损。也有人支持这项禁令,称这是减少俄罗斯巨大的酒消费量的必要措施。
