Russian Democratic Society (Russian: Российское демократическое общество, Serbian Cyrillic: Руско демократско друштво, romanized: Rusko demokratsko društvo) is an anti-war Russian diaspora organization in Serbia.[1] It represents the Russian citizens which emigrated to Serbia following the Russian invasion of Ukraine. It opposes the invasion of Ukraine. Russian Democratic Society describes itself as "anti-war and anti-fascist".[2]
The community adopted its name in English from the Russian Democratic Society,[3] a distinct organization based in the United Kingdom that was registered approximately concurrently with this one.[4] However, it had been known under the name 'Russian Democratic Society' well before this registration.[5] The choice of name reflects a mutual commitment to promoting democratic values and human rights.
