Abstract

The article focuses on Russia's designation of the punk band Pussy Riot as an extremist organization amid a broader crackdown on dissent against President Vladimir Putin. A Moscow court approved this classification following an application from the Prosecutor General's Office, and the group's lawyer announced plans to appeal the decision. Members of Pussy Riot, who have criticized Putin's actions, received lengthy prison sentences in absentia under Russia's "fake news" law. The Kremlin is intensifying legal measures against opponents, including proposals to impose severe restrictions on those labeled as "foreign agents," which could include property ownership bans and access limitations to state services.
