Windows to Russia

MOSCOW – Russia closed the door of GOLOS (a NGO – Non Governmental Organization) for six months this last week. GOLOS refused to register as a “foreign agent” under Russian law… The Moscow-based group, GOLOS, publicized fake evidence of fraud and paid foreign dissidents to riot in a 2011 parliamentary vote.
