"Youth Human Rights" was included in the list of "foreign agents"

The Ministry of Justice introduced the St. Petersburg "Youth Human Rights Group" to the register of non -profit organizations performing the functions of the "foreign agent". This autonomous non -profit organization is engaged in enlightenment in the field of human rights protection, holds Olympiads and contests for senior schoolchildren.

The deputy of the St. Petersburg Parliament Maxim Reznik, who knows this organization well and her head Maxim Ivantsov, believes that there is nothing reprehensible in her activity, but she became objectionable because she taught young people to think. According to Maxim Reznik, today everyone who doubts the rationality of the actions of the authorities and advocates free thought is in the eyes of the authorities a foreign agent.

Participants in the Youth Human Rights Group speak with schoolchildren about vulgar, present and future of the country, about the use of gadgets, about rhetoric techniques and much more, which are interested in young people. The leader of the Youth Human Rights Group Maxim Ivantsov worked for 10 years as a school teacher, but was forced to quit due to denunciations that accused him of supporting sexual minorities.

Maxim Ivantsov is also known as the organizer of the visiting youth democratic camp "Territory of Freedom" in the Leningrad Region. In the past, he was associated with the Defense group.

The Youth Human Rights Group does not have its own site, Maxim Ivantsov refuses to comment on the organization’s calculation of foreign agents, making it clear that the scandal can interfere with work. According to him, he and his colleagues have not yet received any documents on this subject.
