The Russian General Prosecutor's Office said that activities of yet another non-governmental organization from the United States, the National Democratic Institute for International Affairs (NDI), are “undesirable” on the territory of Russia.
According to the Prosecutor's Office, activities of the NDI are a threat to the foundations of the constitutional order and security of Russia. "Details of the decision have been sent to the Russian Ministry of Justice so that this organization can be included in the list of foreign and international non-governmental organizations whose activities are considered undesirable in the Russian Federation," the press service of the agency said.

For repeat offenses or for the managing of such organizations, a citizen could spend up to 6 years in prison under article 284.1 of the Criminal Code. Foreigners involved in the activities of the undesirable NGOs are banned from entering Russia.
