Russia Might Ban Beauty And The Beast
The letter of complaint was sent by Vitaly Milonov to the Culture Minister, Vladimir Medinsky, and reported by state-run news agency Ria Novsti.
Milonov was elected to the State Duma last year and has built his political career on opposing LGBT rights.
In his letter, Milonov declares the movie should be banned in Russia if the ministry are to find it to contain "elements of propaganda of homosexuality".
The Culture Minister has not yet issued a ruling on the film, which stars Emma Watson and is scheduled for release in Russia on the 16th of March, 2017.
