Russia Adds Yale to List of 'Undesirable' Organizations

MOSCOW, RUSSIA, JUL 8 – Russian authorities accuse Yale University of supporting opposition activists and economic destabilization, linking it to Alexei Navalny's group and legal efforts to seize Russian assets.

  • On July 8, 2025, Russian authorities designated Yale University as an 'undesirable organisation' and banned it from operating in Russia.
  • This designation follows Russia's 2015 'undesirable' law, which aims to suppress independent media and foreign groups perceived as hostile, with blacklists growing since the 2022 Ukraine invasion.
  • Russian prosecutors accused Yale of activities that undermine the country's territorial integrity, support an international blockade, destabilize its economy, and train opposition leaders linked to Alexei Navalny's Anti-Corruption Foundation.
  • The Prosecutor General stated Yale’s actions aim at violating Russia’s stability, and individuals affiliated with it risk up to six years in prison for operating on its behalf.
  • This move bars Yale from Russia and signals intensified Kremlin efforts to curb foreign influence during the ongoing geopolitical tensions following the 2022 invasion of Ukraine.
