RUSSIA MIGHT RESTRICT WIZARDS, WITCHES
You probably didn't know it, but according to this BBC article, faith-healing is big in Russia, with frequent advertisements in magazines and newspapers offering alternative medicines and spiritual treatments for problems. However, a Moscow MP wants to restrict the practice, as there is no regulation on what exactly the faith-healers do. Many people even develop psychiatric problems after the treatment. The church deals with some of this - one priest claims he has seen over 20,000 victims of magic and witchcraft, and renounces it all as the work of Satan.

Yeah, because anything that doesn't require popping pills is Satanic.
