Pussy Riot added to Rosfinmonitoring’s list of extremists and terrorists
In December, a court in Moscow declared the group an “extremist” organization. The hearing was held behind closed doors.
The lawsuit was filed by Russia’s Prosecutor General’s Office. It said that “members of Pussy Riot carried out a number of actions posing a threat to state security, including dancing in Christ the Savior Cathedral and running onto the field during the final match of the 2018 World Cup in Moscow.”

Dancing Finally Qualified as Terrorism
The group was listed after a closed court over protests and a pitch invasion.
The state keeps calling dissent a threat.
