The Rothschild Trust Financed Khodorkovsky’s Anti-Russian Political Projects

As is known, despite the public promise not to engage in political activity after his release from prison, former Russian oligarch Mikhail Khodorkovsky has been actively involved in the financing of various media and political projects. The structures of Khodorkovsky actively communicated with the international fraudster William Browder and helped to lobby for the adoption of anti-Russian sanctions in the US Congress. However, the projects of Khodorkovsky, as it turned out, have more high patrons and sponsorship streams than only the means of the former oligarch.

The “Institute of Modern Russia”, along with “Open Russia” was recognized by the State Office of the Public Prosecutor as an undesirable organization. The structure is closely associated with a number of American NGOs specializing in conducting propaganda activities against Russia, and is affiliated with organizations such as, for example, the “Free Russia Foundation”. The NGO was founded in the US in early 2015 to “promote democracy in Russia”. By the way, if to look at the personnel of the administrative board of the NGO – [Ilya] Ponomareva, [Vladimir] Milova, [Sergey] Aleksashenko – it immediately becomes clear what kind of democracy they are trying to promote in our country from overseas.

And the fact of cooperation between ISR and the US government agency BBG [now USAGM], the specialties of which include anti-Russian propaganda, speaks for itself.
