Soros' university activities banned in Russia

The Russian Prosecutor General's Office has banned the activities of the Central European University, founded by businessman George Soros. The Prosecutor General's Office said in a statement that the university in Austria shapes the anti-Russian agenda of the global media. It was recalled that the university officially aims to support the values of "open society and democracy" in the former Soviet countries and Central and Eastern European countries, and that the university's financing is supported by structures controlled by Soros. The statement noted that the Russian Prosecutor General's Office considered the university's activities "undesirable" and added, "In fact, the organization's efforts are currently focused on discrediting Russia's special military operation and political leadership. Therefore, the university deliberately devalues and distorts the history of the Russian state for students, belittles the honor of leading Russian scientists, writers and cultural figures, and makes false statements about Russia's guilt in disasters all over the world, which is absolutely untrue."
