I found the below paragraph online regarding all porn in Russia, definitely some grey areas. If it were truly illegal, this site and other wouldn't broadcast at all. I have also heard about studios paying bribes, how it is outlined below I can understand paying one in such a corrupt setting. The anti-gay law is separate, which makes showing gay propaganda to young people illegal.
The legal status of pornography in Russia is uncertain. The law criminalizes only the 'illegal' production and selling of pornography (which implies that it sometimes can be legal), but two circumstances make enforcement of the law difficult: (1) the lack of a legal definition of pornography, and (2) no law defining when production or selling is permitted.
