This is not an anti-blasphemy law - more like an anti-trolling of religions law. You find these laws in nations with a history of religious wars/persecution. This law was recently used to stop anti-semites as well.
Another irony involved here may be that, while Putin is supporting Syrian president Bashar al-Assad in fighting, among others, Islamists who want to apply “blasphemy laws” against those who insult the Prophet Muhammad, his own country now has a very similar law.
imo that's a really revolting statement.
