The UK Daily Telegraph reports that Russian lawmakers are going after some foreign video games for committing “ideological sabotage” by painting Russia as a country of spies, villains and bears riding unicycles. Russian Members of Parliament plan to hold talks with domestic game makers to counter this “threat” in exchange for tax breaks and grants.

“What we need is more programmers who have a patriotic education, who are on the right ideological level,” remarked Pavel Zyryanov, a member of the Russian parliament’s committee on youth policy. “Computer games today are part of a vital ideological platform that effects the consciousness of our young people. They learn history, they adopt values, and it’s important that this process is given a pro-Russian background.”

If they want to be seen in good light, perhaps they could try becoming a little less evil.
