Russia is cleaning house.
Under Vladimir Putin’s rule, the Russian Federation has been cracking down on Western Globalist entities, banning them as ‘Undesirable Organizations’.
We are talking about George Soros’ Open Society Foundations; Human Rights Watch; Amnesty International; Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty; RAND Corporation – the list is much, much longer.
US educational institutions are also included in this list, such as Yale University; UC Berkeley; George Washington University; Brigham Young University; Bard College…
And today, news arose that Russia has also declared Stanford University to be ‘undesirable’ and banned it.

Stanford has been designated an “undesirable organization” in RussiaBloomberg reported:
“The country’s Justice Ministry added the prestigious California institution to the register of organizations whose activities are considered undesirable, the Interfax news service reported on Friday. The move followed a decision by the Prosecutor-General’s Office, it said, without elaborating.
Russia has declared more than 200 foreign organizations including Yale University, Amnesty International and the British Council to be ‘undesirable’, as part of a broad crackdown on influence and ideas from outside the country since it began the full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022.”

“In July, Yale was declared ‘undesirable’, with the Prosecutor General’s Office saying the Connecticut institution’s activities were aimed at ‘violating the territorial integrity of Russia’.”
Moscow Times reported:
“Under Russian law, individuals affiliated with an ‘undesirable’ entity — including students — can face up to four years in prison, while organizers can be sentenced to up to six years.
Neither the Justice Ministry nor the Russian Prosecutor General’s Office provided explanations for the designations.
Also on Friday, the Justice Ministry added Stanford’s Center for Russian, East European and Eurasian Studies (CREEES) and the Crisis Simulation for Peace (CRISP), a German non-profit, to its list of ‘undesirable’ organizations.”
