Hope of Russia is an initiative by the Jeannette Noëlhuis that supports anti-war activists and LGBTQ people who escape from Russia and Hope of Russia expresses solidarity with those who oppose the war and political repression in Russia.
The initiative helps Russians in exile to be less scattered and isolated, to support each other in their exile and to create opportunities to express their dissent against the actions of the Russian government by organizing peaceful actions and protests and by advocating for the rights of political prisoners.
Hope of Russia emphasizes the importance of human rights, freedom of expression, and non-violent participation in social and political life.
