One might wonder: How does a film like Wetlands survive on a Russian platform, given Russia’s strict laws against “LGBT propaganda” and explicit content? The answer lies in selective enforcement. While mainstream Russian cinema is heavily censored, Ok.ru operates in a relative Wild West due to its user-generated nature. Content is removed only when a copyright holder files a complaint (rare for niche German indie films) or when the Russian media watchdog (Roskomnadzor) specifically targets it. wetlands 2013 ok.ru
