Judge Oleg Nefedov ordered that 'the international LGBT movement and its subsidiaries be recognised as extremist and their activities banned from the territory of the Russian Federation'.

In recent years, Russian propagandists and politicians have increasingly referred to homosexuals as 'paedophiles' and claimed they are part of an insidious attempt to 'westernise' Russian society.
