Moscow
The office of the Friedrich Naumann Foundation for Freedom was present and represented in Moscow between 1992 and 2022. Since 2022, project work has been managed from Tbilisi.
On April 9, 2022 the Executive Board declares the closure of the office of the Friedrich Naumann Foundation for Freedom in Moscow:
"Those who stand up for civil and human rights in Russia are punished, threatened and harassed. Putin's aggressions against liberal and democratic values go far beyond Ukraine. The new wave of expulsions of civil society organizations is another step from authoritarianism to totalitarianism."
