The definition of an extremist organization has been changed in Russia. Now it includes not only organizations, but also communities that have been recognized as extremist. This decision was made on the basis of a law signed by President Vladimir Putin.

According to the new law, extremist organizations are considered to be communities that have been created, led, or participated in by people who have already been convicted of organizing an extremist community.

Information about these communities is now included in the list of extremist organizations maintained by the Ministry of Justice of the Russian Federation. This list has been renamed, and now the law prohibits the dissemination of information about organizations on this list.
