> Russia has drafted voluntary recommendations for film studios covering movies, TV series, and online content about family life, RBC reports. The guidance calls for portraying the family as a “bastion of stability,” avoiding romanticized breakups and abandonment, and linking family love with patriotism. State Duma committee head Sergey Boyarsky denied that his committee authored the document, saying it remains under discussion and is not final.
