The film stars British comedian Sacha Baron Cohen as a spoof reporter on a trip to the US.

A senior official at Russia's culture ministry has told the BBC it will not provide a distribution licence.

The film has been described as a "mockumentary" which follows Mr Cohen's journey across the US.

On the way, he has a series of real-life encounters with unsuspecting Americans in which he makes the most outrageous, sexist, racist, anti-Semitic and homophobic comments.



Apparently the Russians have no sense of humor ;).
