December 2, 2015 Shuryshkar District Prosecutor's Office The Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug (YaNAO) announced that three articles about the activities of the Islamic State were recognized as extremist in its statement of claim. The decision was made on November 12, 2015 by the Shuryshkarsky District Court of the YaNAO.

The position of the prosecutor's office, with which the court agreed, was that recognized as terrorist and banned in Russia "Islamic state" is working on information coverage of its own activities. Articles "ISIS: ideology, structure, strategy", "ISIS sketches" and "Misleading misconceptions about ISIS" " contain information about activities " prohibited organizations and therefore should be considered extremist, the prosecutor's office said.

We believe that none of the prohibited articles contains signs of extremism, including does not justify the activities of the "Islamic state". Author of the article "ISIS: Ideology, Structure, Tactics", published on the IslamToday website, only claims that the Islamic State has a complex structure, reminiscent of the state, which was allegedly created with the direct support of West. The material "Misconceptions about ISIS ..." is devoted to the history of the "Islamic state", its features, relations with other political forces and possible ways of destruction. The banned article "ISIS Sketches" presents is a post by the famous blogger el-murid (Anatoly Nesmiyan) about "Islamic State" as a successor to the concept of the Ba'ath Party.
