The US based civil society organisation The MacArthur Foundation says it is closing its Moscow office after Russia's government put it on a list of undesirable organisations.
Russia has forced foreign funded non-governmental organisations that engage in what it terms, "political activity," to register as, "foreign agents," and the upper house of parliament has approved a, "patriotic stop-list," of undesirable groups.
