Public preaching is the Biblical model, since for many people it's the only way to hear the gospel. Note that Putin even banned internet preaching and preaching in your private home. It was the evil Sanhedrin in the time of Jesus who banned preaching in Acts 5. The apostles chose to obey God rather than man.
" The apostles left the Sanhedrin, rejoicing because they had been counted worthy of suffering disgrace for the Name. 42 Day after day, in the temple courts and from house to house, they never stopped teaching and proclaiming the good news that Jesus is the Messiah."
Putin has also banned Christian evangelization in Russia, making him an antichrist.
care to link a reference point?
As you wish. https://www.christianitytoday.com/news/2016/june/no-evangelizing-outside-of-church-russia-proposes.html
Well, this reads to be banning it outside of the church proper.
So not in the street and not going door to door.
Not really as bad as you initially suggested, I can think of at least a dozen good reasons to constrain the usage of religion in public.
