Another online “Russophobic text” has been banned

The Federal List of Extremist Materials includes a post published in the community "It's time to dump."

2 September 2015 from the next update Federal list of extremist materials, we learned that on June 17, 2015 The Nikulinsky District Court of Moscow recognized extremist article "Why Russia will never become prosperous or a little Russophobia in fine autumn day", hosted V Livejournal in the community “It's time bring down." He entered the list under number 3022.

The material - another "Russophobic article" - primitive sociological, but in reality a journalistic text about "national characteristics" population of Russia, which, according to The author explains the troubles of the country. Like other similar texts, it abounds unflattering, sometimes humiliating statements about Russian citizens, however, consider it How hateful would be wrong: it is addressed to the Russians themselves and designed to make them critical look at the existing social and political reality.

WITH from our point of view, the prohibition of such texts are not rational and explained rather the oppositional nature of their content, and not by the fact that the authorities are serious believe they are capable of stimulating hatred.
