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.

Alexey Navalny represents and is supported by the several Exiled Russian Oligarchs waiting in Europe and elsewhere to regain their power they had before Putin.
The fact that Russia is a sad case politically does not change who Putin is and how he came to power. The truth remains the truth.
And wearing rose-colored blinders about men like Putin and Xi Jinping will not bring us anything but grief and extreme danger.
You know why Putin usually wins? Because he doesn’t play nice and grovel for approval the way the Republicans do. Democrats never apologize for anything nor do they ever admit wrongdoing.
Well I choose to look at a country based on their citizens.....Russian people could not have just jumped into Democracy because outside leaders wanted that..... and Putin knew that as any did who understand Russian culture.
BTW....I know exactly how Putin came to power from the get go. But you might want to also consider how Biden came to power.
Yet you support and defend them in spite of their 2004 and 2013 cowardly and reprehensible Terrorist Murders and the dozens of similar acts indicating that they are exactly the kind of people that WOULD blow up Russian Apartment houses.
Your Chechen pets murdered 331 people at Belsan, half of whom were young children, and escalated from there, all the while receiving Globalst cover, apology and whitewash BECAUSE they opposed Putin using any means necessary.
Your "Frame-Ups" are coming from the other side.
I hope so.
I don’t support and have never supported the Chechens. My allegiance has always been to the truth, as God gives me the light and evidence to perceive it.
You seem to be ignorant of the fact that Putin’s FSB men were apprehended by local police while planting a bomb in a Ryazan apartment building. Their explanation was that it was “a training exercise”. LOL Hence the title of David Satter’s classic monograph “The Shadow of Ryazan”.
Or perhaps you really are posting from the Kremlin’s basement. In 2021 anything is possible.
Biden came to power by the most massive election fraud ever. He and his son both belong in jail with the key thrown away. But Putin is still a KGB killer; a mass murderer.
If you want to know what the crazy reckless KGB was capable of, I recommend the book “Red Star Rogue”. After reading it it seems to me very likely that in March 1968 the KGB commandeered a Soviet missile sub and tried to blow up Honolulu and make it look like China did it. Fortunately(!) a fail safe device on the missile caused it to explode on launch due to lack of a code, and the K129 submarine went to the bottom of the Pacific. The Soviet Navy initially thought we sank their sub, and apparently retaliated by sinking the USS Scorpion in May. In December DIA analysis of 20,000+ photos of the K129 on the bottom of the Pacific taken by the USS Halibut, proved the K129 sank while attempting to launch a missile. Nixon used that information to launch his (we now know disastrous) opening to China, and his less disastrous SALT treaties with the USSR.
It’s really hard for normal people to fathom the evil of men like Yuri Andropov, Vlad Putin, and Xi Jinping. Mass murder was and is just another normal political tool to them.
..”It’s really hard for normal people to fathom the evil of men like Yuri Andropov, Vlad Putin, and Xi Jinping. “....
No it’s not....we’ve had our share of evil men as well...they just hide it better... And History is full of mass murders carefully concealed and not. Both Hitler and Stalin were outdone by Mao Zedong....The fact that Mao’s atrocities resulted in more deaths than Hitler does not necessarily mean he was the more evil of the two. The greater death toll is partly the result of the fact that Mao ruled over a much larger population for a much longer time.
Amusingly, as far as I know, his organization is now classified similarly to the Jehovah's Witnesses!
That’s just what the Biden administration is doing. The US can’t honestly say anything bad about Putin for doing what they themselves are doing.
I don't buy that for a second.
The CBS "News" article I posted was titled and written as a Globalist Propaganda piece to undermine RUSSIAN Law, Courts, Legislators and legal proceedings attempting to address Globalist supported Marxist Agitators and Seditionists inside Russia.
CBS did not mention Putin in any way, as involved the creation of this legislation, in the entire article, the only reference to Putin was in the fourth paragraph as the subject of Navanly's Globalist created and coordinated unsupported accusations.
Everything Putin in your posts about this article was introduced by YOU.
Obviously you wanted the article to be about Putin, not Russian Law, so you could Propagandize: Putin really Evil, good peaceful Chechens Framed!
That's exactly what you posted, the standard lying mainstream media narrative trick, misdirect the discussion to conflate your Propaganda target with the discussion and provide cover and excuse for the bad guy subjects of the discussion: Navanly Extremist Marxist Agitators and Chechen Islamic Terrorists.
Sadly, you have a very good point.
Yep, and Yep.
Amusingly, as far as I know, his organization is now classified similarly to the Jehovah's Witnesses!
Not an expert on official Russian Christian policy, but I believe the objection comes from Witnesses' recruiting from Russian Orthodox Congregations, and soliciting recruits renunciation of Russian National Allegiance.
Vlad Putin mass-murdered hundreds of his fellow Russians in 1999 with apartment bombings, successfully blamed it on the Chechens, and then used the crisis he had created to come to power. All of your repeated and heated bloviating will never change that obvious fact.
You're Projecting, again.
