The "Women of the Don" Union was recognized as a "foreign agent" after an inspection, during which it was found that the organization was engaged in political activity. The prosecutor's office considered sending its annual report to the Ministry of Justice as such. In addition, the prosecutor's office found that the organization had foreign sources of funding: the "Women of the Don" Union received money from the John and Catherine MacArthur Foundation.
