  Text

The Prosecutor General’s Office of the Russian Federation has recognized the activities of the foreign non-governmental organization “The Independent Barents Observer AS” (Norway), which is the owner of online edition “The Barents Observer”, undesirable.

The significant part of the published materials has a clear anti-Russian orientation. It is noteworthy that they are being prepared by citizens of the Russian Federation who have left the country and are included in the register of foreign agents or in the list of terrorists and extremists.

The articles are aimed at stimulating protest sentiments among people of the northern regions of Russia, tightening anti-Russian sanctions, and the need to increase NATO’s military presence at our borders. A significant amount of information circulated by the organization is devoted to discrediting the activities of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. The authors do not neglect the propaganda of non-traditional values.

The publication of materials in Russian is financed by foreign non-governmental organizations whose activities are recognized undesirable on the territory of the Russian Federation.
