  1. Just another milestone in Russia’s de**s**cent into the lower levels of hell. Authoritarian regime can’t have independent sources that might provide information countering its propaganda is a story as old as time.

    Russia truly is the eternal land of, “and then it got worse.”

    Edit: It was politely pointed out a few times, word correction from decent to descent. Thx.

  2. Well putin did say that russia’s borders don’t end anywhere so I don’t see what the problem is.

    They’re probably afraid of espionage. If it wasn’t for that idiot French doctor blowing his cover about 10 years ago they wouldn’t be so paranoid about DWOB volunteering in their country. 

    He was either French or German.
    NGOs are supposed to be off limits but we all know they’re not.

  4. Man, Doctors Without Borders leaving your country, that must be pretty bad. These are the folks who get criticized because they have been caught paying off dictators and warlords. It sucks, but sometimes that’s what you gotta do to make sure your doctors don’t get disappeared or killed.

  5. I was part of a team that set up a Greenpeace office in Moscow during Gorbachev’s glasnost period, when it was still the USSR. After 30 years, Putin shut them down in 2023.

  6. It’s quite ironic that the imperialist country that claims it has no borders, can’t allow for the existence of Doctors Without Borders, within their borders.

  7. Can someone explain? I thought Doctors Without Borders are volunteers helping underserved/poor countries that don’t have enough doctors. Why does a “world power” need it? Shouldn’t they be supplying doctors to the program instead?

  8. You know your country’s leaders give absolutely zero shits about citizens when they kick out Doctors Without Borders, of all organizations.

    Wow. I did a research project on DWB for university 12 years ago and this is crazy. I feel bad for any good Russians that will be missing these services. They do amazing work

  10. There seem to be a lot of people in the comments who have no idea what “Doctors Without Borders” is, and what it does.

    Here is a link to their website, if you would like to learn more about this amazing organization: https://www.msf.org/

  11. Kudos to them. If Russia can’t stand them and is ordering them out then the organization has stood up for its principles. And, this shows once again what kind of jackass Putin really is. Must be time to donate again.

  12. So the populace is now more open to diseases and when it actually does happen not If but when, There wont be anyone to save them this time. Russia is gonna learn why the rest of the world is so close in the medical community. The hard way.
