The only time I've encountered anything of this description is when I was looking into why a server had been defederated, and then found out it was mostly neo nazis and weirdos obsessed with anime children. I had to actively seek them out to discover this.
Support of Putin and Stalin are among a slim majority in Russia, too. You cannot denigrate somebody's achievements because you disagree with what they have to say outside of them. If you want to do that, you may as well deny James Watson's contributions to DNA science.
This could very well be an opportunistic and predatory bill that establishes broad censorial rights, under the guise of protecting the children and the vulnerable. The urgent language used here certainly indicates that.

A few years ago, it was an arrest every 2 hours over mild internet comments, or 3300 a year. The number is much higher now, but I don't know what it is, specifically. One of the worst parts I can think of is criminally charging teenagers with hate speech for posting rap lyrics.
Serial murderers have always been a lyrical topic, for example, and you can see the progression directly if you look for songs about them.
