Russian NGO Returns $159,000 Donation to DiCaprio

Lesson Brief Lenta.ru
An environmental protection organization in Russia's Far East has been forced to return a $159,000 donation to Leonardo DiCaprio in order to stay off Russia's now infamous "foreign agents" list. Since 2012, the Russian government has essentially blacklisted many organizations in the country receiving foreign funds. After it received the donation from DiCaprio, the organization found that it had been added to the dreaded list on Russia's Ministry of Justice on September 18.
