An entire section of the online library is recognized as extremist

On June 25, 2009, another update of the Federal List of Extremist Materials was published , in which, under paragraph 381, materials posted on the websites www.barbos111.narod.ru and www.zhurnal.lib.ru appear.

The first address no longer exists on the network, but the second one is the Server of Modern Literature "Samizdat" available at the time of writing the news at the well-known Moshkov Library, designed to create author's literary sections.

The decision to recognize these materials as extremist, as follows from the Federal List of Extremist Materials, was issued by the Cherepovets City Court of the Vologda Oblast on April 13, 2009.

The decision of the Cherepovets court concerns articles by Viktor Dunaev, a local opposition activist who posted them on his website on the Narod.ru server (this is the second of the sites listed under item 381 on the list of extremist materials, which has already been removed from the network). In April 2009, on the basis of linguistic expertise, Dunaev was issued a warning against extremist activity, which stated that his texts had been subjected to linguistic research. Dunaev’s texts did not find grounds for initiating a criminal case, but they warned that his statements could be classified as extremist, since they “provide for the division of society into communities distinguished by class, combined with a certain amount of xenophobia and social demagogy” .

We doubt the legitimacy of the persecution of Dunaev for extremism, but the recognition of the entire library as extremist at once is unlawful without any doubt and in fact means that everything published on the site, including essays on the topic "Women in Pushkin's Works" and love lyrics, are extremist materials.
