The Russian Prosecutor General's Office has declared Yale University 'an undesirable' organization on its territory, accusing the American institution of attempting to destabilize the country and of training Russian activists to oppose the Kremlin.
The Prosecutor General’s Office claimed Yale’s activities “are aimed at undermining Russia’s territorial integrity, supporting an international blockade of the country, destabilizing its economic foundations and contributing to the deterioration of the socio-economic and political situation.”
According to the Prosecutor General's Office, Yale University trains foreign opposition leaders through its School of Global Affairs. Among its Russian graduates are leaders and activists affiliated with the Anti-Corruption Foundation (FBK), which the authorities recognized as an extremist organization and banned in Russia.
FBK is a non-profit organization founded in 2011 by Russian opposition figure Alexei Navalny. It launched a series of investigations into alleged corruption involving high-ranking Russian government officials.
Authorities claim these individuals used the knowledge acquired at the university to intensify protest activity within the country.
The Prosecutor General’s Office also accused Yale of helping provide legal justification for the seizure of Russian assets frozen by Western governments, “intending to subsequently use them to finance Ukraine’s armed forces.”
Yale has not yet commented on the matter.
