On June 21, the Russian Attorney General\u2019s Office declared the American liberal arts university Bard College an \u201cundesirable organization.\u201d Bard has collaborated with St. Petersburg State University and Russia\u2019s Accounts Chamber Chairman Alexey Kudrin for many years, but the Attorney General\u2019s Office maintains that its \u201cactivity poses a threat to the basic constitutional order and security of the Russian Federation.\u201d Meduza digs into why Bard College was blacklisted as \u201cundesirable\u201d and uncovers what Alexander Ionov \u2014 the same man who demanded that Russia declare our media outlet a \u201cforeign agent\u201d \u2014 had to do with it.<\/p>\n

A decades-long partnership<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Founded in 1860, Bard College is a well-known private university in Annandale-on-Hudson, New York. It\u2019s considered one of the top 200 universities in the world in the field of art and design. It\u2019s notable alumni include journalist Ronan Farrow, Beastie Boys co-founder Adam Yauch, and BoJack Horseman creator Raphael Bob-Waksberg.<\/p>\n

In Russia, Bard College has a long-standing relationship with St. Petersburg State University (SPbU). More than 20 years ago, in 1999, the university\u2019s president Leon Botstein and SPbU rector Lyudmila Verbitskaya began developing Russia\u2019s first \u201cArts and Humanities\u201d program (Botstein was later awarded an honorary doctorate from SPbU). This program served as the basis for creating the Smolny College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, which opened in 2011. Russia\u2019s Accounts Chamber Chairman Alexey Kudrin serves as the college\u2019s dean.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Smolny College became the first institution in Russia to offer a \u201cliberal arts education.\u201d Though it\u2019s listed as a \u201cfaculty\u201d of St. Petersburg State University (based on a cooperation agreement signed in 2011), it\u2019s actually a separate university within the institution. It\u2019s graduates are awarded two diplomas \u2014 one from SPbU and another from Bard College.<\/p>\n

The cooperation between the two universities has continued to deepen over the years. In 2019, Bard College opened a representative office for the St. Petersburg-based institution. By 2021, Smolny College had more than 700 students, who made regular trips to the United States for internships.<\/p>\n

Earlier this year, Alexey Kudrin initiated Smolny College\u2019s separation from SPbU, in order to create a separate University of Liberal Arts and Sciences. The faculty underscored that this would accelerate the institution\u2019s development. The new university planned to continue its partnership with Bard College and increase enrollment two to three fold.<\/p>\n

The influence of Soros<\/strong><\/h3>\n

In March 2021, the Russian Attorney General\u2019s Office received a request for an inquiry into the St. Petersburg-based University of Liberal Arts and Sciences, which was still in the process of being created, over its alleged connections \u201cwith foreign NGOs under the control of George Soros and conducting destructive activities on Russia\u2019s territory.\u201d The request also called for recognizing Bard College as an \u201cundesirable organization.\u201d<\/p>\n

Back in 2015, Russia\u2019s Attorney General declared two foundations created by billionaire George Soros \u201cundesirable organizations\u201d \u2014 the Open Society Foundations and OSI Assistance Foundation. They were involved in supporting Russian education, sciences, and culture, but according to the Russian authorities, this threatened the country\u2019s \u201cconstitutional order.\u201d The \u201cundesirable\u201d designation made involvement in these groups a felony. Financing an \u201cundesirable organization\u201d \u2014 by making a donation, for example \u2014 is punishable by up to five years in prison; the heads of \u201cundesirable\u201d groups can face up to six years behind bars.<\/p>\n

The appeal to the Attorney General\u2019s Office was sent by the Coordination Council of Nonprofit Organizations of Russia (KS NKO, for short). It\u2019s head, Anton Tsvetkov, is the former chairman of Moscow\u2019s Public Monitoring Commission\u00a0\u2014 an organization tasked with overseeing the observance of prisoners\u2019 rights \u2014 and the former leader of the pro-government organization Officers of Russia. Established in 2018, the KS NKO is officially intended to facilitate NGOs\u2019 work with government agencies. Tsvetkov also leads the All-Russian Census of Effective NGOs and holds roundtables and conferences on a range of topics (like Latin American foreign policy, for example)<\/p>\n

In April 2021, nearly a month after Tsvetkov\u2019s organization appealed to the Attorney General, he organized a roundtable in Moscow, titled \u201cThe Influence of G. Soros and his Affiliated Entities on Higher Education in Russia and the CIS.\u201d At the opening of the event, Tsvetkov said he called the meeting due to \u201cthe creation of an institution that could potentially be financed by one of Soros\u2019s entities.\u201d<\/p>\n

The roundtable was attended by former State Duma deputy Vitaly Milonov, as well as writer and politician Zakhar Prilepin, who compared organizations supported by George Soros to Islamic State terrorists.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In conversation with Meduza, however, Tsvetkov said the appeal to the Attorney General wasn\u2019t his initiative. \u201cA number of experts reached out to us. This wasn\u2019t our initiative, we are responding to appeals from experts, we sent information from experts to the relevant agencies, but we don\u2019t make the decision to recognize someone as an agent or not.\u201d<\/p>\n

Among the \u201cinitiators\u201d of the appeal, Tsvetkov named Alexander Ionov \u2014 the founder of the Anti-Globalization Movement of Russia (and former Moscow Public Monitoring Commission member) who became widely known earlier this year after he filed a complaint with the Russian authorities that led to Meduza being recognized as a \u201cforeign agent\u201d with record speed.<\/p>\n

In conversation with Meduza, Ionov confirmed what Tsvetkov said: \u201cThere\u2019s Soros\u2019s funding and ideology. Whether or not the ideology reached the kids, we don\u2019t know. Yes, they have the right to hold any political view, this is afforded to them under the Constitution. But if the formation of these views occurs through foreign organizations, then it lays the basis for people early on that with the existing economic and political system, their development won\u2019t be found in Russia and they have to look to those countries that donate grants.\u201d<\/p>\n

George Soros\u2019s involvement in financing Bard College is publicly available information. For example, his Open Society Foundation announced a $500-million investment in the university in April 2021. In addition, Soros\u2019s foundation, Bard College, and the Vienna-based Central European University (founded by Soros in Budapest in 1991) work together on the Open Society University Network \u2014 a project that aims to \u201cstrengthen the foundations of open society amid the current authoritarian resurgence.\u201d Bard College president Leon Botstein is the chairman of Central European University\u2019s board of trustees.<\/p>\n

In the past, the Russian side also made no secret of receiving funding from George Soros. When SPbU and Bard College renewed their cooperation agreement in 2011, the Russian university\u2019s website stated that \u201cwell-known American financier George Soros is prepared to allocate an addition $5 million to the portion of Bard College\u2019s endowment fund that\u2019s intended for the development of the Arts and Humanities program at SPbU.\u201d This announcement has since been deleted.<\/p>\n

Unanswered questions<\/strong><\/h3>\n

St. Petersburg State University actively cooperated with the Attorney General\u2019s Office during the inquiry into Bard College, but it denied claims circulated on social media that the university\u2019s rector, Nikolai Kropachev, was the first to call for the American university to be recognized as an \u201cundesirable organization.\u201d SPbU insists that Kropachev found out about the appeal to the Attorney General\u2019s Office from the media, when journalists began sending queries about the institution\u2019s alleged cooperation with \u201cundesirables\u201d en masse.\u00a0<\/p>\n

After that, SPbU\u2019s deputy rector for international affairs, Sergey Andryushin, wrote a letter to Bard College asking whether or not donations from organizations recognized as \u201cundesirable\u201d in Russia are used to finance Bard and the Faculty of Liberal Arts and Sciences (Smolny College, which had yet to complete its separation from SPbU). St. Petersburg State claimed that the response it received from Bard didn\u2019t answer this question. SPbU then proceeded to send an official appeal to the Russian Attorney General\u2019s Office, asking it to \u201cassess\u201d further cooperation between the liberal arts faculty and Bard College.<\/p>\n

Neither St. Petersburg State University nor Bard College had responded to Meduza\u2019s queries at the time of publication. Denis Yesaulov, the spokesman for Accounts Chamber Chairman Alexey Kudrin (who serves as dean of Smolny College) told Meduza that the liberal arts faculty no longer plans to cooperate with Bard.<\/p>\n

\u2018Individual borders are being closed\u2019<\/strong><\/h3>\n

According to Kudrin\u2019s press secretary, the fact that Bard College was recognized as \u201cundesirable\u201d won\u2019t disrupt the process of creating a new university on the basis of the Faculty of Liberal Arts and Sciences. In conversation with Meduza, Yesaulov underscored that work on the project is ongoing and that the \u201cnew university will cooperate with leading Russian and foreign universities.\u201d<\/p>\n

At the same time, Yesaulov didn\u2019t respond to Meduza\u2019s questions about whether or not Smolny College students will still receive a second diploma from Bard. Students asked the same question during a recent meeting with lecturers, but didn\u2019t receive a clear answer. \u201cThe teacher said the position of the rector\u2019s wing in this regard is that the university initially \u2018did not promise\u2019 a second diploma,\u201d they wrote on Telegram.<\/p>\n

When an organization is added to Russia\u2019s list of \u201cundesirables,\u201d both the group and its employees are legally prohibited from working in the country. In other words, Russian citizens may face criminal prosecution for cooperating with Bard College \u2014 in theory, this could apply to both students who receive Bard diplomas and lecturers who teach there.<\/p>\n

In conversation with Meduza, Russian-American journalist and author Masha Gessen, who teaches at Bard College, noted that during a May meeting, professors at the university discussed the Russian Attorney General\u2019s inquiry alongside pressure on the college\u2019s projects in Myanmar and the burning of a Palestinian university campus in Jerusalem.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cPerhaps someone wanted to take Kudrin to task, or perhaps someone was trying to curry favor: \u2018Look, we caught enemies of the people too.\u2019 But what\u2019s the difference? This is all a series of meaningless actions that will lead to fewer people having access to a\u00a0good education; individual borders are being closed,\u201d Gessen said.<\/p>\n

Gessen believes that Bard College being declared an \u201cundesirable organization\u201d will affect both her personally and her daughter, who is studying at Bard. \u201cI worry that, apparently, I [should] either quit my favorite job or no longer come home [to Russia]. This isn\u2019t a unique situation at all, but it\u2019s a difficult one for me.\u201d<\/p>\n

In conversation with Meduza, Alexander Ionov called the Attorney General\u2019s decision \u201cpredictable.\u201d \u201cThe general attitude towards Russia is formed by the opinions of those people who go abroad for internships and studies. We all know that those foundations constantly encourage and subsidize all of our [Russia\u2019s] activists, whose activities are aimed directly at undermining the constitutional order.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Ionov added that he\u2019s continuing to fight \u201cdestructive organizations with foreign financing,\u201d but declined to specify which groups he was referring to. In his opinion, the campaign to uncover \u201cundesirable organizations\u201d and \u201cforeign agents\u201d in Russia must continue: \u201cOtherwise we\u2019ll lose the country, just as we lost the great Union in 1991,\u201d Ionov said.<\/p>\n
