The report was submitted to the Committee for the Elimination of Racial UN discrimination, it was prepared by the Human Rights Center "Memorial" with the participation of the International League for Human Rights, the Moscow Helsinki Group, Center for the Development of Democracy and Human Rights, Information and Research Center "Panorama", the Committee "Civil Assistance" and other Russian NGOs and was supported by 25 organizations. Text it published on various Russian sites.

The decision to recognize the information contained in the relevant page of the site "People's Rights in Ukraine", banned, was issued on July 27, 2015 by the Elnikovsky District Court of the Republic of Mordovia. The solution itself is not published, and the arguments of the court are unknown to us. As a reminder, in order for the court to recognize information as prohibited for distribution in Russia, it must contain materials previously recognized by the court as extremist. Of course, the report on racial did not contain discrimination against such materials, so it is not at all clear what served in this case as the basis for the lawsuit and the decision of the court.
