From: MSN NicknameEagle_wng (Original Message) Sent: 4/20/2007 2:27 PM Friday, April 20, 2007 Russian Court Brands Opposition Group Extremist Russia - Extremism / nationalism / far-right - About three thousand Communists and National Bolshevik party members marched in central Moscow, 8 Apr. 2006 National Bolshevik Party activists marching in Moscow on April 8 (epa) April 20, 2007 -- The Moscow City Court has declared the opposition National Bolshevik Party to be an extremist organization.
The ruling late on April 19 allows the authorities to make it illegal to publicly support the party.
A lawyer representing the party, Sergei Belyak, said the National Bolsheviks will appeal the ruling.
Russian authorities had already banned the group. The move follows a recent police crackdown on antigovernment protests in Moscow and St. Petersburg, which the National Bolshevik Party, as well as members of the Other Russia coalition, had played a role in organizing.
On April 19, the pro-Kremlin youth movement Nashi said it will campaign to have the opposition group Other Russia labelled as "extremist."
