Russian President Vladimir Putin signed off on a new law Monday that bans swearing across a wide array of media, including cinema, television, events, concerts, literature and theater.


Any new film containing swear words won't be granted a distribution certificate, so there's zero chance of seeing it at the movie theater.


And copies of books, CDs or films containing swearing can only be distributed in a sealed package labeled "Contains obscene language."


Individuals caught using foul language face a fine of up to $70, while officials can be fined up to $40 and businesses nearly $1,400. They face a three-month suspension of business for repeated swearing.


The law will take effect July 1.
