Today, the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation granted the claim of the Prosecutor General of the Russian Federation Igor Krasnov to recognize the International Satanist Movement as extremist and to ban its activities on the territory of Russia.
As established, the movement is based on extremist ideology, hatred and hostility towards traditional religious confessions.
Its participants publicly call for extremism, as well as for the destruction, damage and desecration of Orthodox churches, chapels, memorial crosses, etc.
The followers of the movement adhere to the general principles of Satanism, use uniform symbols and attributes, and perform occult rituals. The conceptual basis is made up of publications recognized as extremist materials.
The movement is closely linked to manifestations of radical nationalism and neo-Nazism.
Along with ritual murders, participants also commit other crimes, including against minors.
