Russian systemic opposition parties funded via United Russia-linked NGO

Investigation by 'Project' alleges that KPRF, SRs, and Green parties received funds from Mitakom, an NGO linked to United Russia's financial chief Natalya Orlova, suggesting deeper financial ties between the ruling party and 'systemic' opposition. The claim is based on investigative reporting and prior data, with the full extent of funding flows still unclear. This matters as it could undermine the perceived independence of Russia's formal opposition and signal coordinated political control.
