The prosecutor’s office of Moscow filed a lawsuit with extremist’s recognition as extremist, and the court considered that its conclusions are “confirmed by the analysis of their activities”. So, “on the sites used by the defendants, an extremist information was repeatedly posted,” the decision of the Moscow City Court said. True, a specific example of this kind in the document is given only one: this video “Remember the crooks and thieves of their manifesto-2002”, recognized as extremist material in June 2013.
The court also attributed the fact that representatives of these structures “systematically hold public events that are not agreed with the executive authorities in the prescribed manner” also attributed to “extremist activity”. Among these, the Moscow City Court called, in particular, the shares of July 14, 2019 and January 23, 2021 in Moscow, as well as a rally on Sakharov Avenue on July 20, 2019, which was agreed with the authorities, but on which ultimatical requirements for the Moscow City Work committe on registering candidates were threatened with new protests.
In addition, many “actual leaders” and employees of the FBK, FZP and headquarters were brought to criminal and administrative liability “for holding protests, pickets, rallies, committing an extremist orientation”, including “promoting and demonstration of Nazi symbols,” the court’s decision said. As Valery Vetoshkin’s lawyer noted in connection with this, in the context of Nazi symbols in the document, “individual individuals are mentioned, the connection of which has not been established with the fund and headquarters,” therefore the fact of these people of the unlawful act “does not indicate the implementation of extremist activities of the FBK”.
Nevertheless, the Moscow City Court concluded that the FBK, the FZP and the “headquarters of Navalny” are systematically engaged in extremist activities, their goals and objectives are “forcibly changing the basics of the constitutional system in the Russian Federation”, and their leaders “promote the ideas of undermining public security and state integrity of the Russian Federation”. As explains Valeria Vetoshkina, the court eliminates only three specific organizations, but “proceeds from the fact that all separate projects are in the same systemic connection with the FBK, the“ headquarters of Navalny ”and the FZPG. Now all FBK projects mentioned in the court decision, including “smart voting”, “Ros Electors”, “Navalny trade”, RosZHKH and Rosyama, suggested, suggests a lawyer.
