According to glavcom.ua: Russian officials express signs of discontent toward the game Roblox due to a mission that attempts to make children reenact events related to Chernobyl. The Children's Rights Commissioner in the Republic of Tatarstan, Irina Volinets, believes that such scenes may provoke destructive behavior and impact children's psyche.

"Such footage can be equated to fostering destructive behavior in children, where during the game, they are offered to do what is unacceptable in reality. When a child is in virtual reality, they get the impression that it's all fun, that there’s nothing frightening about it," Irina Volinets said.

It is also worth noting that Roblox previously removed games where players could engage in fighting for Ukraine or Russia, avoiding potentially controversial situations and conflicts.
