What’s left of the West would be wise to emulate Russia’s lead in banishing all things Soros.

The office of Russia’s prosecutor-general on Monday designated as unwelcome the Central European University (CEU), an Austrian-based entity founded by the Hungarian-American billionaire George Soros.

The CEU’s official goals are to promote the values ​​of “open society and democracy” in the countries of central and eastern Europe – as well as in the republics of the former Soviet Union – but its efforts are currently focused on “discrediting” the Russian political leadership and the military operation in Ukraine, the Prosecutor-General’s Office said.

The “so-called educational international non-governmental organization” conducts a number of programs that “deliberately devalue and distort the history of the Russian state, downplay the merits of prominent Russian scientists, writers, and cultural figures, and promote pseudo-scientific claims that Russia is to blame for all the world cataclysms, which is clearly not true.”

The Chinese were not kidding when they labeled Soros and his ilk “big financial crocodiles” back in 1999.
