According to one of the authors of the bill, the Vice-Speaker of the State Duma, Sergei Zheleznyak, at the moment activists are promoting Nazi and extremist activities with the help of paraphernalia and symbols of organizations that collaborated with the Nazis during the Great Patriotic War. In particular, such organizations took an active part in the Ukrainian coup, using the symbolism and attributes of the nationalist movement Stepan Bandera.
