The Russian Prosecutor General’s Office has declared the American educational non-governmental organization Bard College undesirable. This is reported on the website of the department.
It is noted that the activities of NGOs pose a threat to the foundations of the constitutional system and the security of the Russian Federation.
Information about the decision was sent to the Ministry of Justice of the Russian Federation. The Ministry will enter the relevant information in the list of organizations that are undesirable in the Russian Federation.
Recall that last week the State Duma adopted in the final reading a law that toughens the responsibility for participation in undesirable foreign/international non-governmental organizations (NGOs), as well as for the creation of such structures. For the leadership of an undesirable NGO in Russia, you will face from two to six years in prison.
