Moscow — A court in the Russian capital has granted government prosecutors' their wish, formally designating the anti-corruption and political movement led by jailed Kremlin critic Alexey Navalny an extremist entity. It was likely the fatal blow for what has become the most resilient opposition force in Russian politics over the past decade.
The court handed down its decision on Wednesday after a 12-hour closed-door hearing, essentially putting Navalny's Anti-Corruption Foundation (FBK) and an associated network of regional offices in the same category as ISIS and the Taliban in the eyes of the Russian government.

Many of Navalny's close allies, including the FBK's head Ivan Zhdanov, have already fled the country to avoid criminal prosecution. If any of the offices continue to work overtly, staffers face up to six years in prison.
Navalny supporters also risk serious repercussions, as donating to an extremist organization or even reposting content from one online, can all bring prison sentences.

Russia is learning well from the Biden administration.
Just like Democrats, liberal companies, and the DeepState do to supporters of President Trump.
Basically the Dims are being like the Russians the Dims loudly claim they abhor but in reality they too often imitate.
The next time Biden-Blinken complain, just call him an “insurrectionist.”
You noticed that.
You noticed that.
Yep, the first thought to came to mind was how is this any different than what the USA is becoming.
You noticed that.
Beat me to it
Democrats only claimed to abhor Russians after Russians stopped claiming to be Communists.
Putin is a KGB killer who came to power by murder, https://www.wanttoknow.info/documents/false_flag_russia_bombings.pdf and will stay in power for life by any means necessary. Putin knows that if he ever loses power, like Saddam Hussein he will soon after that lose his life.
Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding!
What are you doing here?
And where do you post from? The basement of the Kremlin?
If you believe that Putin is a normal democratic politician then you are a fool, or worse.
The distinguished former Prime Minister of Canada, Stephen Harper, understood Putin quite well. https://www.cnbc.com/2015/06/07/no-place-for-putin-at-g7-canadian-pm.html
The Boston Marathon Bombing
The Belsan School Siege
You know, the Russians have a wonderful sense of humor.
The Chechens have earned a bad reputation. That’s how Putin got away with his false-flag bombings in 1999. There’s no excuse for pretending Putin is a good guy. He never was, and never will be. He’s a KGB killer who got to the top and will do anything to stay there.
