Extremism in Russia

Fines for searching for extremist materials

From September 1, 2025, everything will become simpler. The fine is no longer for saying something, but for GOOGLE something. Yes, yes, Article 13.53 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation officially introduces administrative liability for the very fact of interest in extremist materials. The list of these materials is official, from the Ministry of Justice, more than 5,400 items. Of course, it is updated regularly and is absolutely conveniently hidden for those who do not read the register on the Ministry of Justice website every week before breakfast.

You ask, how do you know that you are breaking the law?

The answer is: no way.

You just live.

Opened an old song, joke, meme in Telegram, remembered a line from a book or watched an old video - congratulations, you are not just a listener, you are an accomplice. And if you also use a VPN, then you are almost James Bond, only without a budget and a pension.

Who will be fined?

Everyone. Those who are searching, those who are watching, those who “knowingly watched”.

But don’t worry if you “inadvertently scrolled through a prohibited clip” on TikTok, you won’t be jailed. For now. Just a fine of 3-5 thousand. And if for the second time it will be possible to subscribe to the “Fine per month” and pay directly to the treasury. The state will only be happy.

What does this give to the state?

A stable replenishment of the budget (especially in regions where factories have already closed, but there are many songs left).

Expanding the list of enemies from among those who know how to use the search.

The ideal intimidation tool: “And now we’ll look at your browser history, and here you have a song from 2007…”

The point is that you won’t know whether you are an extremist or not until you get a fine.

It’s like a “surprise box”, only instead of a toy there’s an administrative fine.

Because extremism is not when you call for violence, but when you are interested in something that the authorities don't like.

And now the main thing:

The authorities officially admit that knowledge is dangerous. Curiosity is a threat. VPN is a weapon of evil.

In the future, there will be only one safe behavior: keep quiet, don't read, don't watch, don't listen, don't think.

From the author's Telegram channel:

"The Kremlin walls around, the secret police in the house, at school, in the kitchen. A devastated, embittered man, who fenced himself off from old colleagues, from friends, from loved ones, from the whole world, who together with his accomplices turned the country into a prison where everything living and thinking was executed; a man who caused fear and hatred in millions of people - this is my father...

If fate had allowed me to be born in the hovel of an unknown Georgian shoemaker! How natural and easy it would have been for me, along with others, to hate that distant tyrant, his party, his deeds and words. Isn't it clear where black is and where white is?

But no, I was born his daughter, beloved in childhood. My youth passed under the sign of his indisputable authority; everything taught and forced me to believe this authority, and if there was so much grief around, then I could only think that others were to blame for this. For twenty-seven years I witnessed the spiritual destruction of my own father and watched day after day as all humanity left him and he gradually turned into a gloomy monument to himself…

It gradually became more and more obvious to me not only that my father was a despot and that he had created a system of bloody terror that had killed millions of innocent victims. It also became clear to me that the entire system that had made this possible was deeply flawed, and that no accomplice could escape responsibility, no matter how hard he tried.

And the entire structure, founded on lies, collapsed from top to bottom.

Once you have seen the light, it is impossible to pretend to be blind."

(Stalin's daughter Svetlana Alliluyeva)
