The Sovetsky District Court of Makhachkala has remanded a 45-year-old local resident in custody; he is accused of making public calls for extremist activity and justifying terrorism online.

According to investigators, between July and December 2025, the man posted videos and text messages containing such material in a public chat on the messaging app Telegram. He is charged under Part 2 of Article 280 and Part 2 of Article 205.2 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation.

The court granted a motion filed by the investigative authorities. The accused will remain in a pre-trial detention center for two months—until January 3, 2027, inclusive.
The report does not disclose his name or the specific content of the materials he posted.

The practice of concealing the details of extremism cases has long existed in Russian courts. Back in 2018, *Novaya Gazeta* analyzed 270 court rulings in such cases and found that approximately 100 of them had key information redacted—including the content of the posts, audio, or video materials that were the subject of the proceedings. As a result, it was often impossible to determine from the published rulings exactly what the court had deemed extremist.
