> What's the "12+" next to the date? Does that imply gov.ru also has NSFW subdomains?

Might be a timezone? The most eastern part of Russia (cities such as Pevek, Anadyr) observes UTC+12.

Checking the source, the element has the id "age". Not sure what it implies one way or the other though.

Yes, probably the age rating.

I don't think my timezone idea is particularly likely, not only because the site gives a Moscow address, but also because that (eastern) area of Russia is a backwater's backwater.

It implies the content is not appropriate for kids. Like PG-13 in US.

Every website and TV show in Russia must show age rating.

Some not as obvious as others. I'd never noticed it before on https://aif.ru but now that I look the 16+ is way down in the footer bar. Sps))

Age rating is required for any media published in Russia.
