Ah yes, Article 282, the second most notorious in the Russian Criminal Code (right after 228 for drugs). Used almost exclusively for political purposes to silence citizens with legitimate anger, it's a very important "whip" that the regime uses as one of its main pillars. That's how they popularized muh raycim and extremism as criminal offenses since they're ambiguous enough that literally any activity can be persecuted. This is also the same article that keeps Russian Nationalism under severe pressure.

Starting from 2010, this article is widely used to jail people for reposting on social media just because some random court deemed the original post hateful. In 2018, the government tried to decriminalize this article, but it wasn't real, they were just showing off to increase the approval rating.

As putin once said, "Тот, кто говорит «Россия для русских» — просто придурки или провокаторы." (Those who say Russia is for Russians - are simply fools or provocateurs). That's all you need to know about this guy, really.
