Minister of Culture and Information Policy of Ukraine
The Finnish debt collection office froze the funds of the Russian centre of science and culture in Helsinki due to European Union sanctions.
By Easter, Rossotrudnichestvo, Russia’s state outreach agency, had suspended its operations in several European countries, including Slovenia, Slovakia, and Romania. Its head, Evgeny Primakov, noted that in the current circumstances, the organisation would focus on its priority regions, namely Asia, Africa, and Latin America.
Rossotrudnichestvo is the largest, best-funded, and most historically rooted institution of Russian cultural diplomacy, which today spreads not only Russian narratives and fakes, but also outright lies in different parts of the world.
