The Russian Government placed Zhuan Falun, the main text of Falun Gong, on a list of extremist publications, making the widescale distribution of the book in Russia illegal and punishable by a fine.

The Russian Ministry of Justice published its revised list of extremist books on its Web site on December 23, 2008.

In August 2008, Russia ruled that Zhuan Falun and a list of other publications were extremist books in Pervomaisky Court in Krasnodar officially. This set the stage for the most recent Russian Ministry of Justice ruling.

Bloody Harvest was also added to the list of extremist publications, which was written by Falun Gong supporters David Kilgour and so-called human rights attorney David Matas. Both of them are the creators of the organ harvesting rumor.
