Russians celebrating Halloween may face fines or up to 15 days of arrest for wearing certain costumes. Wearing a police or military uniform with real insignia can result in a fine of up to 1,500 rubles. Impersonating a priest near a church could lead to charges of insulting religious feelings, with a fine of up to 300,000 rubles. Displaying banned extremist symbols such as an inverted pentagram, Leviathan's cross, or the number 666 can also result in arrest. Those who harass passersby with toy weapons may also face punishment.
