Russian television channel TNT Music has desaturated the rainbow in a music video by K-pop group Seventeen to avoid penalties related to LGBT propaganda, according to Baza. In the video for their song "God Of Music," the Korean pop stars dance in a field against a backdrop of blue sky and a rainbow. However, in the version shown on TNT Music's program K-POP TIME, certain shots with the rainbow have been turned black and white. It is worth noting that the channel has previously been fined multiple times for violating the law prohibiting the display of LGBT content. As of now, there have been no official comments from representatives of TNT Music. Earlier, a protocol was initiated against the publishing house "Eksmo" for propagating non-traditional sexual relationships among minors due to the comic book "Gennady the Pigeon." Alexander Khinshtein, the head of the State Duma Committee on Information Policy, stated that the Moscow police initiated an administrative case on LGBT propaganda following his appeal.
