The ministry banned the image because it suggested that Putin suffered from an "alleged nonstandard sexual orientation" (aka is gay). According to Radio Free Europe, the ministry based its ruling on the criminal case of Aleksandr Tsvetkov, who was accused of sharing hate speech by posting gay Putin memes on Vkontakte, a Russian social networking site.

He was sent to psychiatric care after his trial, so yea, things are bleak in Russia.
