Why is Vladimir Putin's Russia so afraid of Jehovah's Witnesses?

Why is Vladimir Putin's Russia so afraid of Jehovah's Witnesses?

Russia, with a population of more than 150 million, has a total of 117,000 Jehovah's Witnesses, a Jehovah's Witness for 850 people.
On Monday, July 17, 2017, the Supreme Court of Russia rejected an appeal for a previous mistake that stripped Jehovah's Witnesses as an extremist group

As a last resort, Jehovah's Witnesses intend to appeal to the European Court of Human Rights. But from now on, the meetings and proclamation of Jehovah's Witnesses are criminal offenses in Russia. The Russian government also has legal authority to liquidate all property of Jehovah's Witnesses as an organization.
Her biblical interpretations and her work work certainly have criticism. But it is the political neutrality of the group that has raised more suspicion.
They do not vote, they do not serve in the army or greet the flag.
Jehovah's Witnesses have no political connections and renounce violence. However, they are an easy target for governments looking for internal enemies as they refuse to submit to the symbols of the government. Many nationalists call them "enemies of the state".
As a result, they have been persecuted in history many times throughout the world.
The Russian Supreme Court claims that the country needs protection against unfair religious fanatics.
But given his commitment to God over all things, Jehovah's Witnesses see themselves as persecuted by those who value the country's loyalty beyond any other principle. They also believe that the Russian government has "trampled on the guarantees of its own laws."
On April 20, the day the Supreme Court of Russia denied him, Adolf Hitler's birthday is over.
