Russians See in 

"Pokemon Go" Satanism, Degradation And National Security Threat

While everyone everywhere enjoying Pokemon Go chasing, the world famous mobile game met resistance in Russia. 

So what's wrong with this game? Hmm, IN GENERAL, the game is fun and showing us new ways to play mobile games. It also can bring people out of their dusty houses to the streets. By checking in "Pokestops", players can discover something new for themselves. Sounds really good!

But some game options like using a camera while you catching pokemons, awaken deep feelings of conspiration theory in some people.

Russian retired major general says it's a smart way US secret agencies want to get secret Russian information, by using stupid recruiters who will make secret objects pictures while trying to catch a pokemon.

The Orthodox Union of Cossacks called to ban "Pokemon Go" because their leader, Andrey Polyakov, said: “We need to drag people out of the virtual world; otherwise it all smacks of Satanism." & "As for churches and temples, holy places, cultural institutions, children’s institutions, this absolutely has to be banned."

Russian senator from upper house, Russian orthodox church speaker, even Russian ultranationalist thinker got something unite them and this is their demonizing "Pokemon Go" game.

Nobody knows how will turn the situation in Russia around "Pokemons" but let's hope they will be free enough to bring simple Russian gamers positive emotions.
