Russia on Monday declared feminist protest punk band Pussy Riot extremist - a label used to outlaw critics of President Vladimir Putin and his war in Ukraine.
Pussy Riot songs and videos have been banned in Russia since 2012, after the band held a protest in a church, which brought it worldwide fame but terms for some of its members.
A court in Moscow said it had upheld prosecution submissions to recognise the punk band Pussy Riot as an extremist organisation and ban its activities on the territory of the Russian Federation.
