  Stanislav Kozlovskiy is a vice-president of Wikimedia
Russia.

 It is still not clear whether this is hoax or somebody really filed a
 lawsuit.

 Cheers

  As I understand it he didn't file the lawsuit, he just complained to the
 police. The police was obliged to tick the box contacting somebody but they
 don't take it too seriously. The files in question - а  translation of
 Mussolini book  and a leaglet about Beslan were already removed from the
 Russian Wikisource. 
They are not deleted yet.

And there is still a lot of discussion on the Russian Wikisource village pump.

They have created a template to put on works that are on the Russian
Federal List of Extremist Materials.

The list of forbidden works is also available on Russian Wikisource.

(We should translate that list onto English Wikisource..)
