Since the emergence of the Federal List of Extremist Literature, cases of sanctions against library employees have become regular. Even in cases where claims against librarians are formally substantiated by anti-extremist legislation, we often do not consider them legitimate, since this legislation is in conflict with the law "On librarianship." See here for more details .
In addition, anti-extremist sanctions against libraries for not having a list of extremist materials, in our opinion, look like an imitation of activity designed to artificially inflate the relevant statistics.
We combined these cases into a single list, the first part of which covers the period from July 2008 to June 2011, the second part - from July 2011 to June 2012, the third part - from July 2012 to the end of 2014, the fourth part - from January to December 2015, the fifth part - from January to December 2016. The list continues in front of you.
