Public advice for identifying extremism?
On August 22, 2006, at a press conference in Yekaterinburg, the head of the main department of the Ministry of Justice of the Sverdlovsk Region, Gennady Novoselov, proposed the creation of public councils to determine cases of extremism. Such councils should give an expert assessment to each individual case of extremism, G. Novoselov believes, since there is no scientific definition of extremism in Russia.
