In his letter to Education Minister Olga Vasilyeva, Milonov wrote that in his view celebrations of Halloween by kids were unacceptable \u201cboth from the point of view of studying and upbringing and the position of spirituality and morals.\u201d He also wrote that the necessity to shield children from the \u201cdecaying and negative influence of Halloween<\/em>\u201d was long overdue. He concluded the letter with a call for a nationwide ban on Halloween celebrations in primary schools and kindergartens.<\/p>\n

Milonov also noted that in his opinion the ministry should explain to teachers \u201cthe real meaning of Halloween and its consequences for children<\/em>\u201d which he described as \u201cthe most powerful psychophysical, emotional and suggestive influence<\/em>.\u201d <\/p>\n

The Education Ministry\u2019s press service issued a reply to Milonov\u2019s letter in which it said that Halloween is not on the list of holidays and memorial dates officially recommended to schools.<\/p>\n

Russian politicians and activists at both regional and federal levels routinely address the topic of Halloween, as its popularity in the country has increased \u2013 largely through marketing events.<\/p>\n

For example, in 2014 members of the Russian Public Chamber asked the government to issue an official recommendation for businessmen to abstain from Halloween celebrations, saying that horror-themed parties \u201cinduce lowly feelings<\/em>,\u201d and \u201cturn into orgies<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n

In 2013 an official representative of the Russian Orthodox Church, Vsevolod Chaplin, called Halloween dangerous. \u201cAt first, people play with the evil spirit as a joke, but then they begin to play seriously with these things. This leads to serious problems: sickness, sadness, and despair<\/em>,\u201d Chaplin was quoted as saying by the popular news site Lifenews.<\/p>\n

In the same year the Education Ministry in the Omsk region sent letters to local state schools telling them to take measures to curb any events marking Halloween on the grounds it \u201cpromotes extremism<\/em>\u201d and a \u201cdeath cult<\/em>\u201d that can harm the moral health of children.<\/p>\n
