Inspired by the quick and easy victory over K. West, Russian patriots decided that now even "Spider-Man" was within their reach.
But if they dealt with the rapper by activating the regime's secret mechanisms, they decided to make the battle with the were-arachnid a bright nationwide campaign. For the decisive battle they brought in priests, deputies, and other perverts.
The formal reason for eliminating the spider was the illegality of its screening, since the movie theaters really do not have any "screening rights."
(In 2022, Hollywood severed all relations with the cannibal country.)
But....a diverse thieving technology for obtaining desirable films got worked out, and those films made up 85% of Russian theaters' revenue.
Hollywood fumed angrily, but was unable to stop it.
The Russian Interior Ministry, while reading the claims of the American studios, snickered brazenly and then wiped itself with them.
The viewers, meanwhile, absolutely did not give a damn about the legality of the screenings.
However, the "traditional values" crowd got riled up and decided to squash the American stuff, because "it should have no place in the Russian world." The Kremlin gave the go-ahead, and the силовики snapped to attention.
The State Duma called for dealing with Spider-Man and stopping the film's screening.
The State Duma Committee on Culture said that the shadow screening of the superhero film must be stopped immediately:

The Duma demanded shadow screenings of Spider-Man stop immediately.
The ban remains the main cultural policy.
