Pussy Riot, the Russian anti-Kremlin feminist punk band, has been officially designated as an extremist organization by a Moscow court, effectively banning their activities within Russia. This ruling, sought by the General Prosecutor’s Office, comes amidst a broader crackdown on dissent, particularly against those who have criticized the war in Ukraine. The designation, which mirrors that of the Jehovah’s Witnesses and Alexei Navalny’s political organization, will enable authorities to target the band’s supporters and those who have collaborated with them. Founder Nadya Tolokonnikova, who is currently outside of Russia, has responded by embracing the extremist label, arguing that speaking the truth in today’s Russia is considered extremism.
