Russia, a founding member of BRICS, says it plans to add an “international demonic movement” to its financial blacklist, according to President Vladimir Putin. The move allows Russia to freeze and seize suspect assets, even without a criminal record. Rosfin Monotuling, a Russian federal agency that maintains a financial blacklist of “terrorists and extremists,” added the “International Satanism Movement” to its list on Friday, its website said.
The BRICS country has been pushing for blacklisting for several months. “The movement is closely linked to the symptoms of radical nationalism and neo-Nazism,” Russian prosecutors said in a July statement.
The Russian Supreme Court declared extremists in July after prosecutors accused the Orthodox Christian church of secing “they’d hate” and spreading “hate.” “The movement is closely linked to the symptoms of radical nationalism and neo-Nazism,” Russian prosecutors said in a July statement.
Furthermore, according to the Russian federal agency that maintains a financial blacklist of “terrorists and extremists,” Satan refers to an ideology or religion that worships Satan, the supernatural entity of Abrahamic religion, embodying evil. I don’t know how many people adhere to Satanism around the world and in Russia. Russia recently continued its oil trade with India, despite US sanctions and threats from Trump.
