I know what to worry about being a Russian, and no aggressive advices from internet-lunatics are acceptable.
By the way, speaking of this biker, that you fall in love with.. In his interviews, as any antifa or just a churka Zaldastanov claims that Russian ethnicity doesn't exist, "You understand that the Russian - a state of soul. This person may even be of a different nationality. And the Jew can be a Russian". You gotta sign under his words? |

Russia lists JDC-funded cultural group among ‘foreign agents’
September 16, 2015 6:35am (JTA) — Russia’s Justice Ministry placed a Jewish cultural association with ties to the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee on its list of nongovernmental organizations defined as “foreign agents.” The Hesed-Tshuva group, which is based in the city of Ryazan located 120 miles south of Moscow, was placed on the list on Sept. 11, according to a report Tuesday by the news website hro.org. The list was set up in accordance with a law adopted by the Russian parliament in 2012 that requires NGOs to register as “foreign agents” with the Ministry of Justice if they engage in “political activity” and receive foreign funding. According to Human Rights Watch, the definition of “political activity” under the law is “so broad and vague that it can extend to all aspects of advocacy and human rights work.” Article 20, a Russian watchdog on human rights, reported the reason for the registration was not specified but that the Hesed-Tshuva group in question was registered as receiving donations only from the Joint Distribution Committee, or JDC. The Hesed-Tshuva group is the first addition to the list of approximately 100 foreign agent NGOs that is described in its statute as a Jewish organization. The JDC network of Hesed offices (Hebrew for kindness or virtue) supplies various forms of aid, from food packages to medical care, to Jewish individuals in need across Russia and the former Soviet Union. JDC’s policy in Russia and in other countries around the world is to avoid taking part in partisan activities. But on the Justice Ministry’s website, Hesed-Tshuva is described as having the goal of “influencing decision-making bodies of the state, aimed at changing state policy pursued as by them.” Under “political activities” attributed to Hesed-Tshuva, the ministry listed “conducting public events, shaping public opinion.” Russia under President Vladimir Putin has restituted property to Jewish organizations, and especially to communities with ties to Chabad-Lubavitch, which operates independently of JDC. Efraim Zuroff, the Israel director of the Simon Wiesenthal Center, told JTA he was not aware of a change in policy, adding the listing could owe to the actions of a junior public servant. But if dictated from above, he said, “This could be the government taking sides in internal power struggles between Jewish groups.” http://www.jta.org/2015/09/16/news-o...foreign-agents |

United Russia lawmaker proposes sanctions against mass media spreading fake news
Published time: 13 Sep, 2017 11:28 Get short URL A Russian ruling party MP known for controversial pro-Christian initiatives has prepared a bill introducing fines for, and out-of-court blocking of websites that knowingly distribute fake news. “A long time ago the need arose for measures aimed at stopping distribution of fake news that can be, among other things, a tool for informational and psychological influence used for destabilizing the political and social situation in the country and threatening the informational security of the Russian Federation,” MP Vitaly Milonov (United Russia) wrote in a note attached to the draft law, as quoted by RIA Novosti. To address these threats, the lawmaker wants to amend the Russian Law on Mass Media and the Law on Information as well as the Administrative Code. The proposed amendment to the Law on Mass Media bans any concealment or falsification of information that is important for society as well as the distribution of false reports disguised as authentic ones. The proposed amendment to the Administrative Code states that spreading falsified reports in mass media, including news sites on the internet should be punishable by fines of between 2000 and 2500 roubles for ordinary citizens ($34.5 - $43 at the current rate), between 4000 and 5000 roubles for officials and from 40000 to 50000 for companies. If the bill passes into law it would allow the blocking of access to websites with fake news after an order from a ministry or agency that will be determined during the parliamentary hearings. In 2012 Russia introduced a law allowing state agencies to block internet pages without a court warrant. Initially, the law addressed internet sources containing child pornography, suicide instructions or those promoting drugs, but additions to the list have been made after various regional courts found certain sites and pages harmful or dangerous – including those that promote religious or ethnic hatred. The ‘blacklist’ is operated by the country’s media and communications watchdog, Roskomnadzor. Under the law, once a website with illegal content is discovered, the agency must inform the owner of the source and their hosting-provider and demand that the prohibited information be removed. MP Vitaly Milonov is best known as the main sponsor of the Russian law that bans the promotion of non-traditional sexual relations to minors, dubbed by the mass media as the “gay propaganda ban.” However, he has gained even more notoriety by numerous legislative initiatives that did not become laws, such as a ban on child beauty pageants, criminalizing prostitution and introducing fines for fake accounts in social networks. Milonov’s trademark is still the relentless anti-gay campaign, resulting in a suggestion to ban all Apple products in Russia because the company is headed by an openly gay CEO - Tim Cook. https://www.rt.com/politics/403178-u...prepares-bill/ |

Today I saw a certain the "Committee for the Protection of National Interests."
I don't know who they are. There are no names, addresses or contacts on their website. They write that: "The Committee for the Protection of National Interests portal appeared as a result of the joint activities of a team of like-minded people who are not indifferent to what is happening in the country. In Russia, there is a state system of grants, as well as an extensive network of foundations and sponsoring organizations that provide assistance to public projects. Meanwhile, many Russian NGOs and individual politicians regularly receive financial support from foreign non-governmental human rights organizations, government agencies and commercial companies. Any assistance of this kind assumes responsibility to sponsors, in whose interests this or that activity can be carried out. It is no secret that often, behind this formal and informal funding, and beautiful slogans are hidden instruments of direct intervention of foreign states in the internal affairs of Russia. At the same time, the people involved in the projects of these organizations are far from always aware of their engagement and real goals. Therefore, we decided to engage in systematic informing people about the activities of foreign agents on the territory of our country. We collect data from open sources and do not promote hatred against any social forces. Part of the information about foreign agents, as well as their financial statements, is contained in the register of the Ministry of Justice of the Russian Federation. But the low information content of the site of this register for citizens, visual stinginess and low attendance do not contribute to an increase in the general level of awareness. Therefore, we see our task as to make the work of such organizations more transparent and understandable. We are united by the idea of honest and transparent work in the public field. Our values are openness and availability of information for everyone who wants to receive verified and reliable information about foreign agents in Russia." Register of persons dependent on foreign governments and sponsors (in Russian) Enciplopedia of Foreign Agents (in Russian) IN THE SECOND HALF OF FEBRUARY 2021 NED REPORTED 767.6 MILLION RUBLES FOR PRO-AMERICAN INITIATIVES IN RUSSIA 29.03.2021 On February 18, 2021, the National Endowment for Democracy (recognized as an undesirable organization in Russia) reported on the grants allocated for the Russian direction in 2020.

Note that in 2019, the anti-Russian grant pool amounted to 312 million rubles (4.8 million dollars), i.e. in comparison with the year before last, the volume of financing increased by 2.2 times. The funds were distributed within ten thematic areas. 1.
