As another poster pointed out, it's not just the US, though with the US's economic dominance it's a huge factor. China and middle eastern nations don't like sexual content either. Basically, the governments in these places want you to concentrate on the state-sanctioned religion instead of relieving your biological urges with porn. So in the middle east, they want you thinking about Islam all day long. In the US, they want you thinking about Jesus n' Guns. In China, they want you thinking about the glory of Xi and the CCP. I'm pretty surprised actually that Russia hasn't cracked down on porn yet.

That's just not how Russia rolls. Simple things like low fuel prices, alcohol and porn are what prevents the population from complaining.

Russians highly value internal peace and will not actively go against anything that helps to secure it.
