The Prosecutor General's Office has recognized the German non-governmental organization Dekoder-gGmbH as “undesirable”. This is reported on the department's website.
The Dekoder website says that the project “connects German journalists and scientists with independent Russian and Belarusian colleagues.” The publication's team calls itself «a guide to the public discussions taking place in each of these communities.»
Dekoder employees translate articles from Russian independent media into German — on the project website, among other things, you can find German-language versions of Mediazona materials. Dekoder translates articles from German publications into Russian.
The Prosecutor General's Office believes that the Dekoder website publishes “exclusively unsubstantiated articles of an incriminating nature regarding the policies of the Russian authorities.” According to the department, the project is collaborating with “foreign agents” and other “undesirable organizations.”
“Dekoder-gGmbH, in fact, publishes materials that contradict common sense, accusing the Russian leadership of “distorting history, totalitarianism and expansion.” In addition, with the start of a special military operation, the organization systematically posts information that is deliberately unreliable and discredits the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation,” says the Prosecutor General’s Office.
Dekoder, the department claims, also promotes “destructive ideas” in order to “destabilize the situation within Russian society.”
