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. '
'Separately, another law requires any Russian organisation that has a foreign source of funding to register as a “foreign agent”, a term reminiscent of Soviet-era propaganda. '
'At the same time, the MacArthur Foundation pulled out of Russia after being put on the provisional list of 12. '
Something like this must be set up here, for there are so many Charities that are Suspect! We are no longer sending any money to anyone. We really do need our money, we do not have a Retirement Check coming every month. Only Soc. Sec. for the places we worked did not provide it. So now there is no way of really knowing which Societies and Charities are on the Up and Up. Movers and Takers Need to be Outed. Thanks to Putin.

Sounds like a good common sense policy.
