yeah, decision became active in January, the news is that yesterday Rosfinmonitoring (Federal Financial Monitoring Service of the Russian Federation) added "LGBT movement" to its own list. I guess, it's just bureaucratic things?
For those who don't know what Rosfinmonitoring is:
The Federal Financial Monitoring Service of the Russian Federation is a Federal Service that is aimed to collect and analyze information about financial transactions in order to combat domestic and international money laundering, terrorist financing, and other financial crimes. The organization also provides lists of people accused of terrorist or "extremist" activities and books.
It's more than just a buerocratic thing, it means that there's now also the option to monitor financial activity and seize assets of "LGBT activists" (which, given how the laws have been applied so far, can be basically anybody the Russian government likes to call gay).
This comes on top of all the stuff listed above, and is part of a general trend of escalating queerphobic opression.
