OREANDA-NEWS  In Russia, the activities of the Italian non-governmental organization (NGO) Comunità dei Russi Liberi in Italia are considered undesirable. 

According to the agency, the organization was established in 2021 by Russians living in Italy. Its members organize anti-Russian rallies, demonstrations and involve Italian citizens in alleged systematic violations of rights and freedoms in Russia.

The NGO raises money for the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) and cooperates with the Freedom of Russia Legion (an organization recognized as a terrorist organization in Russia).

Earlier, the SOE recognized the undesirable activities of the French organization Pour l'Ukraine, pour leur liberté et la nôtre!, spreading fakes about a special military operation and campaigning against the participation of Russian athletes in international competitions.
