Russian fined for searching extremist materials on the Internet

In the Moscow region, a justice of the peace imposed administrative punishment on a local resident for deliberately searching for extremist materials on the Internet. This is the first known case of application of the relevant article of the Administrative Code of the Russian Federation in the region. This is reported by RIA Novosti with reference to court documents.

The case was considered by the magistrate of the Dmitrov judicial district. Earlier, in relation to the man, an administrative protocol was drawn up under Article 13.53 of the Administrative Code of the Russian Federation, which provides for responsibility for searching for obviously extremist materials and obtaining access to them.

According to the latest information, the court has already issued an administrative penalty. The man was fined, but the specific amount of the penalty in the court did not specify.

Article 13.53 appeared in the Administrative Code of Russia in 2025. It provides for a fine for citizens in the amount of 3 to 5 thousand rubles for intentional search and access to materials recognized as extremist.

At the same time, responsibility comes not for any search query, but for intentional actions against deliberately extremist materials defined by law.
