On March 4, 2009, a criminal case was initiated in Yekaterinburg under Art. 282.2 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (organization of the activities of an extremist organization) against Alexei Nikiforov , the leader of the local nazbols.
Let us recall that on December 18, 2008 newspapers and personal belongings were confiscated from Aleksey Nikiforov to be checked "for extremism", and he himself was detained.
