Backed into a corner

The Open Russia Foundation has decided to completely cease its activities. All legal protests against the seizure of the fund’s accounts have been lost: there is no money, there is no opportunity to conduct human rights and educational activities. Now all efforts will be aimed at fighting in the courts: “We are confident that, despite the legal chaos, we are obliged to fight, because democracy, the values ​​of which Open Russia has always defended, is not only the right, but also the duty to defend our dignity," the foundation said in a statement.
