The Alexander Gorchakov Public Diplomacy Fund was established in 2010 by the Russian President Dmitry Medvedev. The founder of the Fund was the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the current Minister of Foreign Affairs is the head of the board of trustees. The Ministry funds the work of the Gorchakov Fund, which in turn grants funding to think tanks and GONGOs. The Gorchakov Fund is designed to support Russian compatriots in the post-Soviet space in line with the Kremlin’s ideological objectives. Projects organised by the Gorchakov Fund have been important elements of Russia’s foreign policy discourse. In 2015, the Government of Ukraine closed the Office of the Gorchakov Public Diplomacy Fund in Kyiv because of anti-state propaganda. Therefore, the Gorchakov Public Diplomacy Fund is responsible for actively supporting and benefitting from the Government of the Russian Federation, which is responsible for the annexation of Crimea and the destabilisation of Ukraine.

Le fonds Alexander Gorchakov pour la diplomatie publique a été mis en place en 2010 par le président russe Dmitri Medvedev. Le fondateur du fonds était le ministère russe des affaires étrangères, et l’actuel ministre des affaires étrangères en est le directeur du conseil d’administration. Le ministère finance les travaux du fonds Gorchakov qui, à son tour, octroie des fonds à des groupes de réflexions et à des organisations non gouvernementales organisées par les gouvernements. Le fonds Gorchakov a été conçu pour soutenir les compatriotes russes dans l’espace post-soviétique, conformément aux objectifs idéologiques du Kremlin. Les projets organisés par le fonds Gorchakov ont constitué d’importants éléments du discours de la Russie en matière de politique étrangère. En 2015, le gouvernement ukrainien a fermé le bureau du fonds Alexander Gorchakov pour la diplomatie publique à Kiev en raison de la propagande anti-étatique. Dès lors, le fonds Alexander Gorchakov pour la diplomatie publique est responsable de soutenir activement le gouvernement de la Fédération de Russie, qui est responsable de l’annexion de la Crimée et de la déstabilisation de l’Ukraine, et il tire avantage de ce gouvernement.
