True Russia ( tr ; Russian : Настоящая Россия , romanized : Nastoyashchaya Rossiya ) is a charity opposed to Russia's military attack on Ukraine by uniting people of Russian culture around the world in their will to support the victims. [1] It was founded by writer Boris Akunin , dancer Mikhail Baryshnikov and economist Sergei Guriev . The project is dedicated to helping Ukrainian refugees , as well as people who were forced to leave Russia after the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine . [2] [3] [4] [5] The project's website emphasizes that it is not a political movement and not affiliated with any party or politician. [6]
History
The project was organized on 9 March 2022, when fundraising began to help Ukrainian refugees. [7]
On 17 March, in an interview with the BBC , Akunin said that the project is primarily focused on the Russian diaspora , on the people, and that participation in any pacifist and even more so pro-Ukrainian campaigns now poses a certain risk for Russians living in Russia. [8]
After Akunin announced his anti-war position, stores began to withdraw his book from sale. [9]
On 24 May, the project website was blocked by Roskomnadzor by decision of the Prosecutor-General 's Office of the Russian Federation. [10] [3]
In July, it was reported that the organization had raised more than £ 1 million to help refugees. [11]
