If you don't like it, it means you're an extremist

The statement, signed by Russian human rights activists Lev Ponomarev, Yuri Samodurov, Ernst Cherny and Father Gleb Yakunin, notes that accusations of extremism by representatives of the human rights movement are far-fetched and speculative. Russian justice displays complete subjectivity, if not “tastefulness,” in the fight against extremism. Therefore, the warning issued to Memorial is not just another manifestation of political censorship. It speaks of the authorities’ desire to resolve such issues privately.
