Russia\u2019s upper house of parliament adopted on Wednesday a petition to the Prosecutor General\u2019s Office, the Foreign and Justice Ministry asking them to consider the patriotic stop list of foreign NGOs for possibly including them to the list of undesirable organizations.<\/p>\n
The petition, backed unanimously by a total of 156 senators, reads that Russia \u201chas faced the greatest attack on its national interests, values and institutions over the past quarter of the century.\u201d<\/p>\n
Its key goal is to influence the domestic political environment in Russia as well as to \u201cundermine the patriotic unity\u201d of people and also disrupt integration processes involving Russia on space Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS).<\/p>\n
\u201cThe unprecedented involvement in this activity of nonprofit organizations, which are also funded by the state budgets of foreign countries, allows speaking about a \u201csoft aggression\u201d against Russia,\u201d the text of the petition obtained by TASS says.<\/p>\n
The upper house says the Foreign and Justice Ministries and also the Prosecutor General\u2019s Office should \u201cconsider the patriotic stop list\u201d which includes a range of well-known anti-Russian foreign and international non-governmental organizations.<\/p>\n
This measure is aimed at possibly making them a subject of the existing norms of the country\u2019s law on undesirable organizations, it says.<\/p>\n
The \u201cstop list\u201d includes 12 organizations, among them the Soros Foundation, the National Endowment for Democracy, the MacArthur Foundation, the Freedom House and the East European Democratic Center.<\/p>\n
