In the “Pussy Riot” case (Mariya Alekhina and others v. Russia, app. 38004/12, 17 July 2018), the European Court of Human Rights strengthens its pro political speech line of conduct. With the exception of a partly dissenting opinion, the Court found Russian authorities had overstepped their margin of appreciation in condemning the three applicants for the offence of hooliganism motivated by religious hatred and of propaganda of extremist materials. The present essay aims, by analyzing the Russian authorities conduct, to raise pertinent questions about European standards for anti-extremism legislation.

Abstract
In the “Pussy Riot” case (Mariya Alekhina and others v. Russia, app. 38004/12, 17 July 2018), the European Court of Human Rights strengthens its pro political speech line of conduct. With the exception of a partly dissenting opinion, the Court found Russian authorities had overstepped their margin of appreciation in condemning the three applicants for the offence of hooliganism motivated by religious hatred and of propaganda of extremist materials. The present essay aims, by analyzing the Russian authorities conduct, to raise pertinent questions about European standards for anti-extremism legislation.
