The Prosecutor General's Office has declared the Carnegie Foundation an "undesirable" organization

The Ministry of Justice added the American think tank Carnegie Endowment for International Peace to the register of "undesirable organizations." The decision itself was made by the Prosecutor General's Office, but the agency did not publicly announce the ban.

The Moscow Times, which the Prosecutor General's Office declared "undesirable" on July 10, was also included in the register. The agency explained its decision by saying that, in its opinion, the publication's work "is aimed at discrediting the decisions of the Russian Federation's leadership in both foreign and domestic policy."

In April 2023, the Ministry of Justice recognized the Carnegie Foundation as a "foreign agent." The reasons for adding the organization to this register were that the foundation "discredited" the Russian army and spread "fakes" about the country's government policies aimed at "destructive ideological influence" on Russians.

The Carnegie Endowment is an American think tank. The Moscow Carnegie Center has operated in Russia since 1994. After Russia began a full-scale invasion of Ukraine, the Ministry of Justice closed the foundation's branch along with divisions of 14 other organizations, including Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch, "for violating the law."
