The Executive Director of the foundation expressed his support for President Putin and for Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine. The Foreign Minister of Russia, Sergey Lavrov has confirmed the Foundation’s consistent work in countering xenophobia, neo-Nazism, and attempts to falsify history.
The Foundation for the Support and Protection of the Rights of Compatriots Living Abroad is founded and financed by the Russian Federation with the aim of fulfilling the foreign policy goals of the Russian Government. It represents a unique structure of Russia’s “soft power”, which plays an important supporting role in implementing the Russian Government politics of division.
Therefore, the Foundation for the Support and Protection of the Rights of Compatriots Living Abroad is responsible for supporting materially and benefitting from the Government of the Russian Federation, which is responsible for the annexation of Crimea and the destabilization of Ukraine.
The analytical reviews of the experts of the Foundation are used to confirm the main propaganda messages of the Kremlin, including that neo-Nazism and xenophobia are encouraged by the Ukrainian authorities. Unfounded accusations of Nazism, Russophobia, and massive persecution of Russian-speaking people are used by the Foundation, in line with Kremlin policy, to create instability and division in many neighbouring countries of Russia.
