Abstract
On 7 June 2024, the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation fulfilled the demand of the Ministry of Justice to label 55 organizations, including those advocating for the rights of Indigenous peoples, as extremists. This decision has triggered significant anxiety among Indigenous communities and human rights activists. This article examines the nature of this decision, the definitions of extremist and extremist organizations under the Russian law, and the implications of this decision for the rights of Indigenous peoples in Russia.
