Russia Bans Yale, Expands Crackdown on Foreign Groups

News summary

Russian authorities have designated Yale University as an 'undesirable' organization, banning its operations in Russia and criminalizing collaboration. The Prosecutor General's Office accuses Yale of undermining Russia’s territorial integrity, destabilizing its socio-economic and political environment, and supporting legal efforts to seize Russian assets for Ukraine. The Yale Jackson School of Global Affairs and its leadership programs were specifically targeted for allegedly training opposition activists, including associates of the late Alexei Navalny. This move is part of a broader crackdown on foreign organizations and individuals, ongoing since 2015, with dozens of U.S. academics and institutions already blacklisted. Under Russian law, those connected to such organizations face significant prison sentences. Yale has not yet responded to the ban.
