The Russian Ministry of Justice has declared the “Feminist Anti-War Resistance” movement as undesirable in the country. The movement, founded by Russian feminists after the invasion of Russian troops in Ukraine, aims to break the information blockade and spread awareness about the war in Ukraine.
The activists of the Feminist Anti-War Resistance have emphasized the dangers associated with participating in protests under current circumstances. Following their inclusion in the register of undesirable organizations, representatives of the movement sought legal advice to address the situation. In addition to being classified as undesirable, the movement and one of its founders, Daria Serenko, have been labeled as foreign agents by the Ministry of Justice.
Daria Serenko was declared a foreign agent in January 2023 and put on the wanted list by the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs. Despite being located outside of Russia, it is unclear what specific allegations have been made against her. The movement continues to face challenges from the government as they strive to promote anti-war initiatives and actions.
