Putins megaphone: Orbns far-right push into UK universities is fuelled by Russian oil
'...a network funded by Hungarys authoritarian leader Viktor Orbn, that uses profits from refining Russian oil to platform far right and anti-trans campaigners in the UK ...

Good Law Project can reveal that the Roger Scruton Legacy Foundation (RSLF) has received 512,500 more than 90% of its funding from Mathias Corvinus Collegium (MCC) since 2023.

On 18 February 2022, a week before the full-scale invasion, russian criminals announced a so-called evacuation of women and children from temporarily occupied Donetsk and Luhansk regions.

By 19 February 2022, thousands of people had already been kidnapped to Russia, including at least 2,700 children.

Ukrainian children were transported across the entire territory of Russia, thousands of miles from home. Their documents were falsified, they were issued Russian passports, and our children were STOLEN. Stolen & adopted by Russians.

This was a pre-planned and coordinated operation. The deportation of Ukrainian children is a War Crime and a crime against humanity.

is documenting Russias crimes against children and, together with international partners, is working to trace the children, verify information, collect evidence, and bring those responsible to justice.
