Free Russia NLLocation: Location: Netherlands | Workplace: On site
From civil initiative to registered ANBI foundation in the Netherlands.
Free Russia NL is a grassroots community of Russian-speaking residents and citizens of the Netherlands. Our community originated as a citizens' initiative in January 2021. 24 February 2022 changed lives dramatically for each of us, inside and outside Russia. During the months of war, we campaigned, raised money for humanitarian aid to Ukraine and Ukrainian refugees in the Netherlands, helped journalists and activists from Russia forced to leave the country and spoke to Dutch media. In June 2022, we registered our organisation as a foundation in the Netherlands.
We are an association dedicated to supporting and promoting the interests of Russian speakers who share democratic values in the Netherlands. We provide humanitarian aid and organise events to draw attention to problems of refugees from Russia, Ukraine and Belarus. Our educational activities are aimed at disseminating truthful information about Russian politics and society.
