Extremist (Russian: Экстремистка, romanized: Ekstremistka) is a 2025 short drama film written and directed by Russian filmmaker Aleksandr Molochnikov. The 17-minute film dramatizes events inspired by the real-life case of Aleksandra Skochilenko and follows a young artist (portrayed by Viktoriya Miroshnichenko) whose act of protest, in which she replaces supermarket price tags with anti-war messages, leads to her arrest and prosecution.
