Friends, on August 15, the so-called Ministry of Justice declared the organization Friede Allen e.V. (“Mir Vsem”) an “undesirable organization.” On September 16, this information was officially added to the Ministry’s registry.

We have become the first Orthodox organization in Russia whose activities, according to the authorities, pose a “threat to the foundations of the constitutional order of the Russian Federation, to the country’s defense capability, or to state security.”

What does it legally mean to be an “undesirable organization”?

The head of such an organization faces up to six years in prison.
Any author writing for Mir Vsem faces fines, and for repeated offenses — up to four years in prison.
The same punishment applies for reposting our articles or messages on social media.

Despite this, we will continue

We will keep doing our work, continue to proclaim the Gospel peace and speak about the value of human life, and of course, continue to support anti-war confessors who suffer for their stance.

Important for readers and subscribers

Sharing or reposting our articles and posts on social media may lead to fines, and in the case of repeated offenses — criminal prosecution.But no one can forbid you from reading, watching, and thinking.

Therefore, subscribe to our:

We do not yet know whether “likes” and comments under the posts of an “undesirable” organization might be subject to prosecution. There have been no such precedents so far.

How you can still support anti-war confessors

Your donations remain vital — without them, we cannot continue. But first, please read the safety guidelines carefully.

Is it safe to donate from abroad?

Yes. Especially if you live in a country that does not exchange tax data with Russia and you have a bank card issued by a local bank. The list of such countries is constantly growing.

If your card is issued in a country outside that list, or if you plan to travel to Russia and worry that border guards may inspect your phone and see bank payment notifications, we recommend having a second “clean” phone.

If that’s not possible, a less safe alternative is to temporarily delete your banking or crypto apps from your phone. “Less safe” — because there is at least one known case where Russian border guards restored deleted apps, messages, and files.

Is it safe to donate from inside Russia?

No. But we have never accepted payments from Russian bank cards, and you can still support anti-war confessors directly through the Zaodno platform (choose a confessor in the carousel). From the government’s perspective, your donation via this platform is no different from sending money to a friend for a birthday gift.
