"Der Westen hat recht, wenn er das NGO-Gesetz kritisiert – obwohl wir uns daran erinnern sollten, dass die meisten US-Amerikaner es für absolut inakzeptabel halten würden, dass ausländische Institutionen, insbesondere solche, die mit ausländischen Staaten verbunden sind, eine führende Rolle bei der Finanzierung von faktisch politischen Gruppen in den USA spielten."
Ja!
Aber noch viel wichtiger ist die Tatsache, solche ausländischen Investitionen in NGOs sind in der USA gesetzlich verboten. Daher ist dann auch das do bezeichnete "Russische Gesetz" dann doch wohl eher ein US-Gesetz.
Es gibt sogar US Gesetze, welche die Demokratie in anderen Ländern und deren "Förderung" zum Thema haben:
This Act may be cited as the ‘‘Russian Democracy Act of 2002’’
(...)
(3)(A) Since 1992, United States Government democratic
reform programs and public diplomacy programs, including
training, and small grants have provided access to and training
in the use of the Internet, brought nearly 40,000 Russian
citizens to the United States, and have led to the establishment
of more than 65,000 nongovernmental organizations, thousands
of independent local media outlets, despite governmental
opposition, and numerous political parties.
