A court in Chechnya found the article on Chechnya in the Great Encyclopedia, printed by the Terra publishing house, “extremist” and “stirring up ethnic hatred.” According to the judgment, the article depicts Chechens as robbers and bandits. The court ordered confiscation of the encyclopedia’s 58th volume containing the article. The publishing house intends to appeal on the basis that it was not notified of the hearings. Unless the judgment is reversed by a higher court, the volume will be included into the federal list of “extremist materials,” banned for publication and distribution throughout Russia.
