Popcorn Books, which publishes stories that deal with LGBT relationships and self-identification, began labelling covers with Article 29.5 of the Russian constitution &#8211; which guarantees freedom of expression &#8211; after Russia introduced a new law banning the promotion of &#8220;LGBT propaganda&#8221; to adults. Alexander Khinshtein, the politician who helped write the law, said a branch of the interior ministry in Moscow was now investigating the publisher after he lodged a complaint. &#8220;I hope that the case will be brought to court and Popcorn Books will get what it deserves by defying the state,&#8221; he said in a social media post. &#8220;Let me remind you that this publishing house is one of the leading promoters of LGBT literature in Russia,&#8221; he said.
