“[Russian] #Duma Deputy Head of the Committee on Information Policy Oleg #Matveichev stated on April 4 that he has prepared a bill to recognize #feminism as an extremist ideology and argued that #feminists overwhelmingly oppose the ‘#military #operation’ in #Ukraine. Matveichev argued that #Ukrainian feminism consists of women serving together with men fighting against #Russians and alleged that the woman accused of killing of #Russian milblogger Maxim #Fomin (Vladlen #Tartarsky) was motivated by feminist ideology. Matveichev has not specified how the bill would define feminism, and the bill may use a vague overarching definition in order to further promote widespread self-censorship. Russian authorities may increasingly portray other ideologies and groups not explicitly aligned with the Kremlin as being against the war in Ukraine in order to set conditions for increased crackdowns and self-censorship. Ukrainian ‘feminism’ would appear to be giving Ukraine an advantage in this war since, as Matveichev notes, it has brought many talented and determined Ukrainian women into the fight.”
