The Civil Society in Russia continually struggles to find the space to truly focus on mission-driven activities. 

Russia is quickly becoming a closed society, with virtually no independent media, rule of law. In addition there are many restrictions on free speech, assembly, attacks on political opposition and minorities.

The dialogue between civil societies, intercultural communication and business contacts forms an essential bridge between Russia and Western countries. 

The Vision of Russia is the flagship program of The Free Russia Foundation.

Many smart, talented, well-educated and successful Russians have left our country over the years for a number of reasons. Whatever those reasons may be, they have learned to adapt in a different culture and have thrived in the free societies of the United States and Europe.
