Being part of a Soviet Union would do that, unfortunately.
Porn ban started in 2001.
Probably anti-russian/pro-west backlash, tbh. Lot of pro-jesus laws passed around the world as a way to reject the USSR.
Also likely wanting to curtail sex work in general, as Westerners were going to former Soviet countries for sex tourism.
In fact, right after Russia invaded Ukraine, “Ukrainian women” became a top 10 pornhub search.
