Intellectual games participants’ NGO deemed undesirable in Russia

MOSCOW, November 5. /TASS/. The Russian Prosecutor General’s Office has declared the Liechtenstein-based organization representing participants in intellectual games to be undesirable in Russia.
“The Prosecutor General’s Office has ruled to designate the Internationale Assoziation fur Intellektuelle Spiele (IAIS, Liechtenstein) as an undesirable international non-governmental organization in Russia,” the press service announced.
The organization brings together over 200 participants from Europe, Asia, and North America in competitive intellectual games, including “Jeopardy!”, “Brain-Ring”, and “Million Dollar Mind Game”, as well as their regional variations.
“Although the association’s Charter forbids political involvement, the IAIS has actively disseminated information online intended to undermine the leadership of the Russian Federation and its foreign and domestic policies,” the press office noted.
