Russia has announced an official ban on organizations and institutions identified by authorities as Satanic temples, framing the move as part of broader efforts to protect traditional values and national culture.
Russian officials argue that such groups conflict with state-defined moral and spiritual principles. The decision aligns with Russia’s increasing emphasis on religious conservatism and alignment with the Orthodox Church.
Critics warn that vague definitions may allow authorities to target minority belief systems or dissenting groups. Human rights organizations stress the importance of freedom of belief and expression under international law.
Supporters of the ban view it as cultural preservation, while opponents see it as another step toward restricting civil liberties. Similar cultural regulations have expanded in recent years.
Political analysts say the decision reflects how governments use ideology and identity to shape internal cohesion, especially during periods of geopolitical tension.
