Russia has banned Sacha Baron Cohen's comic film, 'Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan'.

"The film contains material that some viewers may consider offensive to certain nationalities and religions," said Agency official Yury Vasyuchkov.

The film had been scheduled to open in 300 Russian cinemas on 30 November.
