Open Russia

Open Russia is a pro-democracy movement and organization that advocates for political reform and human rights in Russia. Founded in 2017 by a group of activists and supporters of former oligarch Mikhail Khodorkovsky, it aims to promote open dialogue, civic engagement, and transparency in governance. Open Russia seeks to empower citizens to participate in political processes and challenges authoritarian practices. The organization conducts research, organizes events, and supports civil society initiatives, all while facing significant challenges from the Russian government, which perceives it as a threat to its authority.
