Russian Ministry of Justice does not agree with the criticism of the inclusion of fund “Dynasty” in the register of foreign agents – Ekho Moskvy radio station


 On the contrary, the decision is referred to as an example of respect for the law.

 In turn, the foundation “Liberal Mission”, also included in the register of foreign agents, assured that it is necessary to challenge this decision in the court of the Ministry of Justice.

 Hysterical commentary called the Minister of Justice Alexander Konovalov, the reaction to the inclusion of Dmitry Zimin Dynasty Foundation in the register of foreign agents. Here, we should talk not about the costs and of compliance with the law, – said the head of the Justice Ministry, adding that he (as a lawyer) did not agree that it is – quote – disaster, failure, pressure on civil society. Konovalov admitted that the introduction of the fund in the list can affect its reputation and capital, but said that he sees no threat to the activities of the Fund after the recognition of its foreign agent: in the Russian legislation are no limits or restrictions for the organization, which happened in the registry.

 Alexander Konovalov said that dynasty – as well as any other organization – may be excluded from the registry. Or by a court decision, if appropriate treatment is or due to changes in circumstances. The second position is the minister not deciphered. Meanwhile, the founder of the “Dynasty” Dmitry Zimin in an interview with Vedomosti noted, which may reconsider its decision to cease financing the fund. But think about it, he will start only if the company excluded from the register of foreign agents and apologize for putting her there. To challenge the actions of the Ministry of Justice in the court Zimin is not going to.

 
 Russian Constitutional Court reiterated that in the event of a non-profit organization to receive foreign financing it is not required to recognize themselves as a foreign agent. Determination at the request of the chairman of the association “The Voice” Lilia Shibanova published on the website of the COP. In November 2012, the Norwegian Helsinki Committee awarded the “№Golosu” prize of 7,700 euros. Money is transferred to the account of the organization, but “The Voice” brought them back. Meanwhile, the prosecutor’s check regarded as the fact enrollment foreign funding, and therefore the “voices” ordered to register as a foreign agent. Shibanov refused to do so and received an administrative fine – reminds “Interfax”.
