    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    The list is maintained by the Rosfinmonitoring agency, which has the ability to freeze bank accounts belonging to people or groups designed as extremists or terrorists.

    Other organizations on the blacklist include the Islamist terror group al-Qaeda and the US tech firm Meta, which owns Facebook and Instagram.

    Russia’s RIA state news agency said the designation refers to the “international LGBT social movement and its structural units.”

    Russia banned what it called “gay propaganda” among adults in 2022, which outlawed the expression of “non-traditional sexual relations” in public and in the media.

    The same year, Russia also tightened restrictions on what it calls “foreign agents,” making it easier for the state to crack down on NGOs and websites receiving any kind of support from outside the country.

    Last year, Russia banned gender-affirming surgery, with Duma chairman Vyacheslav Volodin calling gender reassignment “a path to degeneration.”
