May 2, Pozirk.<\/em><\/strong> Belarusian opposition politician Pavie\u0142 \u0141atu\u0161ka has criticized Rossotrudnichestvo in a video address.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A month ago, the Russian foreign aid agency launched a culture and science center in Hrodna. Earlier, such Russian Houses had opened in Minsk, Brest and Homiel. Rossotrudnichestvo runs them in many countries to promote Russian values.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to \u0141atu\u0161ka, the agency promotes the occupation and integration of foreign countries into Russia. It is an umbrella organization for the Russian network of agents of influence and also sponsors public diplomacy and propaganda, he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Belarus’ illegitimate authorities give Russian Houses a carte blanche and have nothing to offer to counterbalance them,” he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“While members of Belarus’ civil society are being repressed, forced underground and threatened with prison for any activity, pro-Russian activists have unlimited by local standards financial support from Rossotrudnichestvo.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Belarus saw at least 1,601 nongovernmental organizations dissolved between the 2020 presidential election and late March of 2024, according to the Lawtrend rights group.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
