Dec 4, 2024, 08:06 AM
The Prosecutor General's Office of the Russian Federation has officially classified The Satanic Temple, a U.S.-registered organization, as an 'undesirable organization.' This designation comes amid accusations that the group promotes an occult ideology and uses satanic symbolism to undermine traditional spiritual and moral values. The Russian authorities further allege that the organization has made negative statements regarding Russia's military operations in Ukraine and has called for the overthrow of the country's constitutional order. In response, The Satanic Temple describes its mission as one of encouraging benevolence and empathy.
