In the Council, they ask the Ministry of Justice and the prosecutor's office to check "Unwanted Organizations"

The Prosecutor General’s Office and the Ministry of Justice should check the activities of “undesirable organizations”. This was stated at the plenary meeting of the Federation Council, the head of the Committee on International Affairs, Konstantin Kosachev, Interfax reports .

"It is necessary to check unwanted organizations within the framework of the current legislation. And we will send the appropriate appeal to the Prosecutor General, the Ministry of Justice, so that they check on this issue," Kosachev said. According to him, the United States uses any pretext to "fall Russia and establish external control over the situation in our country and our people," and foreign democratic missionaries "process our ideals and our society." Among such organizations, Kosachev called, in particular, the Soros Foundation, the National Fund in Support for Democracy, the Makarturov Foundation, and the National Democratic Institute.

"If last year the financing of foreign organizations in Russia amounted to about 37 billion rubles, then this year - more than 70 billion rubles. And this is not the end of history," Kosachev noted.

Money is allocated to those organizations that interfere in the affairs of Russia through controlled funds, Kosachev believes. According to him, the West is trying to change power in Russia "to loyal regime", so it is necessary to control the "external players".

Foreigners participating in the activities of "undesirable" NPOs are prohibited to Russia.

On May 24, the official representative of the US State Department Marie Harf announced the deep concern of Washington in connection with the adoption of the law. This law, the official emphasized, "will lead to an even greater restriction of civil society in Russia and will become another example of the growing suppression of" freedom of speech and isolation of Russians from the rest of the world.
