"Terrorist" and "extremist" is the way the Russian government refers to the opposition. By labeling them in this way, it prevents any civic anger in case a member of the Russian opposition is jailed, beaten or murdered. It's scary when your government labels you as someone who has to be exterminated, but we choose to make art about it, instead of simply being afraid.
