Extremist organizations
[edit]- Meta Platforms/Facebook/Instagram – in March 2022, a Moscow court recognized Meta Platforms as an extremist organization.[6]
- "The international LGBT public movement" – On 30 November 2023, the Supreme Court of Russia, in a ruling prompted by a motion from the Ministry of Justice, declared what it calls "the international LGBT public movement" an extremist organization and banned its activities across the country. The ruling came after a closed-door hearing and no one from "the defendant's side" was present.[7] After the "Movement" was banned, activists later created the "International LGBT Movement" to defend their interests.[8]
- The "Anti-Russian Separatist Movement": on 7 June 2024, the Supreme Court of Russia banned the "Anti-Russian Separatist Movement", supposedly "an international public movement to destroy the multinational unity and territorial integrity of Russia". However, the SOVA Research Center, which studies Russian anti-extremism policies, has noted that "there is obviously no single organization with a common structure called the Anti-Russian Separatist Movement".[9]
