Extremist organizations
- Meta Platforms/Facebook/Instagram — in March 2022, a Moscow court designated the Meta Platforms as an extremist organization.[7]
- "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.[8] After the "Movement" was banned, activists later created the "International LGBT Movement" to defend their interests.[9]
- The "Anti-Russian Separatist Movement" — on 7 June 2024, the Supreme Court 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".[10]
- Pussy Riot — in December 2025, the Ministry of Justice added punk art-collective Pussy Riot to its list of extremist organizations.[11]
- Memorial — On 9 April 2026, the Supreme Court, after a closed-door petition from the Ministry of Justice, banned "the Memorial international civic movement" as an extremist group. Memorial had previously been penalized for violations of the foreign agent law and ordered to shut down its human rights center and International Memorial in 2021.[12] OVD-Info was declared a "subsidiary" of Memorial and banned as extremist organization despite having no links to Memorial.[13]
Individuals recognized as terrorists or extremists
In addition, Rosfinmonitoring (Russian Federal Financial Monitoring Service) maintains a list of individuals whom they recognize as "terrorists" or "extremists".
Following amendments to the Russian Federal Law "On Countering the Legalization of Proceeds from Crime and the Financing of Terrorism" (effective since June 1, 2023), the grounds for inclusion in the Rosfinmonitoring list of "terrorists and extremists" were significantly expanded. Individuals may now be added to the list not only after conviction but also while merely under investigation for certain offenses, including the "discrediting" of the Russian Armed Forces or other security agencies. The amendments also cover crimes committed on political, ideological, ethnic, or similar grounds.[14]
