Associação de russos livres

(Association of Free Russians in Portugal)

We, Russians living in Portugal, support the people of Ukraine in their struggle for freedom and democracy against the Putin dictatorial regime.

We make anti-war and anti-dictatorship rallies in the streets, support political prisoners, talk about civil society initiatives, and help fight the propaganda spread by the regime around the world.

We participate in the international activist community Free Russians Global and are an associate member of the Anti-War Committee.

Fundraiser for portable power stations for hospitals and schools in Ukraine

Anti-war and pro-democratic communities of Russians in different countries of the world, together with the Anti-War Committee of Russia, are collecting funds for portable power stations for hospitals and schools in Ukraine. Daily power outages due to strikes on the Ukrainian energy system put the lives of patients at risk and leave educational institutions without the ability to teach children. Our goal is to collect 100 thousand euros for the purchase of 119 portable power stations and additional equipment for them. Join us - every euro can save someone's life.

Program for the return of children stolen from Ukraine

The Orphans Feeding Foundation and its founder Mariam Lambert have already been able to return 36 children illegally deported from Ukraine. The cost of returning one child is about 2000 euros. The Foundation officially cooperates with the Commissioner for Human Rights of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, and we have also received confirmation from three Ukrainian human rights organizations that the program is working. There are about 20,000 registered requests from parents to law enforcement agencies in Ukraine alone; less than 400 were returned (data from the Ukrainian state portal Children of War. You too support Bring Kids Back UA.

Fundraising for coliwings of the Ark

Why do we need coliving now? In Russia, almost every day there are "military" roundups of conscripts, and military recruitment officers desperately call bases and threaten to force them to show up, allegedly to check their documents. Russia has banned the "LGBT movement." This means an even wider group is being persecuted. Support the Ark fundraising. It costs the Ark $14,000 a month to run the coliving operation. Read more.

Petition "Don't be silent"

The topic of politics is banished from everyday life, and when we try to talk about it after a couple of minutes we find a person who says that politics is not here. We were told that politics, if you don't do it, will come and do everyone. On February 24, 2022 Russian politics has taken over not only us, but the whole world, let's finally take matters into our own hands. Sign and circulate our petition Petition "Don't be silent", discuss politics and help civil society.
