Today it became known that on November 3, 2025, by the decision of the Leninsky District Court of Mahiloŭ, a new book was added to the list of “extremist materials.”
Earlier, this book had already been included in the list of printed publications that, according to the authorities, “may harm the national interests of the Republic of Belarus”.
We remind you that the inclusion in the “National List of Extremist Materials” carries severe legal consequences, including administrative liability for producing, publishing, possessing, or transporting the banned book. In practice, the scope of “prohibited acts” is applied excessively broadly. Sanctions range from heavy fines to administrative arrest, creating a powerful deterrent for authors, publishers, and readers.
