Arctida was designated an “undesirable organization” in Russia
On February 16, Arctida was designated an “undesirable organization” in Russia. This means that we are prohibited from operating in Russia, and violations are subject to administrative and criminal penalties.
We disagree with this designation and do not consider our activities to be “undesirable.” Nevertheless, we are completely discontinuing all projects and programs in Russia, as well as cooperation with people and organizations located or registered in Russia, so as not to put them at risk.
In the near future, Arctida will decide whether we will continue our work, which we will announce on all our social media accounts. Until then, we will pause our publications.
If you are in Russia or plan to visit, we urge you to:
- Refrain from sharing links to our materials publicly and reposting them on your social media accounts.
- Remove all reposts of our materials from your social media accounts. It is now unsafe to do so.
Reading Arctida and following us on social media is still not considered a crime.
Thank you for supporting our work and reading us, it is very valuable 💙
