Objections to culturally objectionable ads
A member of Moscow's government has called for the creation of legislature that would make Moscow billboard-free. Alexander Krutov, a member of the pro-government United Russia faction, stated that the billboard-free zones would protect the city's cultural heritage against growing commercialism. Billboards would be banned altogether in some areas, and limited in others, and Krutov hoped that control over the placement would be transferred to the municipal government's architecture committee. At the moment, it falls to the advertisement committee, which also collects the fees for the billboards. For more information, CLICK HERE.
