Russia Labels Poland-Registered Forum As An 'Undesirable Organization'

The Russian Prosecutor-General's Office on March 17 labeled Poland-registered Free Nations of Post-Russia Forum "an undesirable organization." The group is a movement of exiled politicians and activists who call for more autonomy and even independence for ethnic regions and republics of the Russian Federation. The movement’s latest forum was held in the building of the European Parliament in Brussels last month. Russian officials have used the designation, whose underlying legislation was expanded in 2021, to marginalize dozens of foreign organizations.
