Russian lawyers, spurred-on by (who else?) a bunch of Christians, started legal proceedings against the TV station 2x2 for showing South Park.
In particular, the episode entitled Mr. Hankey's Christmas Classics is said to incite interreligious hatred. The episode brings together Santa Clause, Adolf Hitler, Jesus Christ, Satan, and a friendly turd for a sing-along. The Russian Union of Christians of Evangelical Faith originally petitioned the courts for the ban and Russian lawyers took up the case.
It has since been sent to court.
