A Russian court has sentenced eleven members of the “Soviet citizens” movement to imprisonment for extremism, after a trial that lasted almost two years.
The group subscribes to the notion that the Soviet Union never actually ceased to exist and that the Russian Federation is therefore illegitimate.
In 2019, a court in the Komi Republic declared the “USSR” an extremist organization, effectively banning its activities. The eleven defendants from Sverdlovsk Region, however, continued to hold meetings and lectures, distribute pamphlets and avoid taxes and utility bills, according to authorities.
Members of the Ekaterinburg branch of “USSR” were found guilty of “participating in a public association banned due to extremist activity,” under Article 282.2, Section 2 of the Russian criminal code, local media reported on Wednesday.
The two ringleaders were sentenced to six years in a general regime penal colony, while each of their nine followers was sentenced to two years.

They're probably trying to fend off the real question that is with the internet why do we need a million government employees or government involvement in our lives at all.
referendums should settle where tax money goes and that's a religious sin against thieving jews who are getting it today.

It's a legitimate point. The problem with it is the people claiming to have authority over us will use force, confinement, or death to exert their control over us.
The same will apply once they 'openly' declare the world government. We're more than halfway there already, with a significant number of countries already deferring to dystopian organizations like the WEF and associates.
