Before you run out and buy a shitload of Russian content, remember: it'd still be nice to have age documents for plenty of other reasons. A lot of those Russian girls look awfully young for supposedly being 18 or older. Having access to proof that doesn't look immediately suspicious would be nice, wouldn't it?
I just think there might ba kind of loophole in the law here.

The best thing you can do, no matter where you live and no matter whom you buy content from. Deal with people that can provide modelreleases and ID's, confirming that the model was over 18 when the shooting was done. Then you are home free, no matter what happens.
It's not just a matter of age verification, it's also a proof that the person selling the content are the rightfully owner...
