Russia bans two Soros foundations from disbursing grants | World news | The Guardian

'Russia has branded foundations run by the financier George Soros a threat to the country’s constitutional order, and banned them from disbursing grants to Russian partners. '

'Soros has long been a controversial figure in Russia because of his financing of civil society groups active in protest movements. '

'Now that has come, it is illegal for Russian organisations to accept its money. '

'At the same time, the MacArthur Foundation pulled out of Russia after being put on the provisional list of 12. '

'It had been active in the country since 1992, disbursing about $172m of grants in areas including education, human rights and nuclear non-proliferation. '
