The main opponent of Pokémon in Russia turned out to be a senator who doesn’t pay his hotel bills:
Surely you remember what Senator Klintsevich became famous for? A countryside resort outside Moscow sued him after he spent 21 days in the presidential suite and didn’t pay for it.
So this United Russia party uncle checked into a luxurious room once used by the general secretaries of the CPSU (Communist Party of the Soviet Union), stayed there, and then refused to pay?
Do Pokémon do things like that in Russia? No, Pokémon sit quietly inside mobile phones and make children happy.
So here’s the question: how exactly does the devil enter Russia? Through video game characters, or through senators who think someone else should be paying their expenses?
