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]

History

Following the Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, tens of thousands of Russian citizens emigrated to Serbia.[3] Russian Democratic Society was founded on 8 December 2022 by a group of Russian anti-war activists in Belgrade. It is represented by Peter Nikitin, a Belgrade-based human rights activist.[4]

On 1 August 2023, the Russian Democratic Society has published an open appeal to Serbian Prime Minister Ana Brnabić and President Aleksandar Vučić to "stop the persecution of Russian anti-war activists in Serbia".[1]
