	Soros Foundation "paralysed" in Russia after forced expulsion
		Soros, the arrest of Khodorkovsky, the seizure of the Soros building and the removal of documents which we do not understand why they were needed,” Geniyeva said.
		Hungarian-born Soros, who has long had difficult relations with Moscow, in June announced that he was sharply curtailing his philanthropic activities in Russia to some 10 million dollars a year after spending a billion dollars over the past 15 years.
		The Soros Foundation is heavily involved in promoting civil society and the development of democratic ideas, chiefly in former communist east European countries.

		Soros foundations and financial machinations are partly responsible for the destruction of socialism in Eastern Europe and the former USSR.
		Soros foundations were accused of engineering a strategy to take control of the Russian financial system, privatization schemes, and the process of foreign investment in that country.
		These Soros Foundation-educated young men and women are prepared to fulfill the functions of so-called "influence agents." Thanks to their fluent knowledge of languages and their insertion into the emerging bureaucracies in target countries, these recruits would philosophically smooth the inroads for Western multinational corporations.

	George Soros - NS Profile NEIL CLARK / New Statesman 2jun03
		Soros knows a better way—armed with a few billion dollars, a handful of NGOs and a nod and a wink from the US State Department, it is perfectly possible to topple foreign governments that are bad for business, seize a country's assets, and even to get thanked for your benevolence afterwards.
		Soros stresses his belief in the "open society" propounded by the philosopher Karl Popper, who taught him at the LSE in the early 1950s.
		Soros’ way is to use a few billion dollars, some NGOs and a “nod and wink from the U.S. State department” to bring down foreign governments that are “bad for business” to seize a nation’s assets, and even get thanked for your ‘benevolence,’” according to Clark.

	GEORGE SOROS, POSTMODERN VILLAIN by Srdja Trifkovic (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		Soros-in addition to the implausible claim that a private speculator could get as far as he has unaided by any established financial interests-is his systematic, concerted effort to use a large part of his fortune to promote his peculiar social and political views.
		In all postcommunist countries, Soros relies on the sons and daughters of the old communist establishment, who are less likely to be tainted by any atavistic attachments to their native soil, culture, and traditions.
		Soros remains primarily committed to destroying the remaining bastions of the family, sovereign nationhood, and Christian Faith east of the Trieste-Stettin line.
