The Death of Stalin
On Friday, police raided the Moscow movie theater Pioner, which screened Armando Iannucci's movie The Death of Stalin, banned in Russian Federation by the culture ministry, news agency TASS reported.
The Pioner Cinema in central Moscow bucked official orders and premiered Armando Ianucci's The Death of Stalin Thursday night, becoming the only theatre in the country to show the film.
The culture ministry withdrew permission for British director Armando Iannucci's film, which satirises the death of the dictator, on Tuesday after Russian officials labelled it offensive and "extremist". Police didn't declare the goal of their visit, but it followed the Russian Culture Ministry's warning that the theater could face sanctions that included fines.
Several hours after the raid, Pioner wrote on its Facebook page that it had been forced to stop showing The Death of Stalin and offered full refunds to anyone who purchased tickets for the film's 11 scheduled screenings - all of which were sold out.

Moscow police didn't immediately declare the objective of their visit to Pioner theater on Friday, but it followed the Russian Culture Ministry's warning that the theater could face sanctions in line with the law.
Incidentally, two-and-a-half years ago, Pioner also screened Gaspar Noe's banned movie Love, saying it was part of a festival, and festival screenings didn't require an exhibition license.
Showing an unlicensed film is punishable by a fine of up to 100,000 rubles (about £1,250) and could lead to a cinema's closure in case of a second violation.
