ACF International

Fighting Putin’s Corruption and War

ACF International is the global branch of the Anti‑Corruption Foundation, founded by Alexei Navalny. We carry forward Alexei Navalny’s work and principles, fighting for justice and freedom against criminal regime that represents only Putin, not the people of Russia.

Our mission is clear: to cut off the financial and political lifelines that sustain Putin’s dictatorship and his war against Ukraine.

Putin’s rule is not only a Russian problem—it’s a global threat. His cronies loot our country and funnel billions to the West, buying influence, corrupting institutions, and fueling an aggression.

We work to ensure the world sees Vladimir Putin’s regime for what it is: a corrupt and violent system responsible for war, repression, and crimes against humanity. These crimes must never be forgotten—and they must not go unpunished.

We are certain: punishment must target not ordinary people, but those who benefit from Putin’s regime.

What We Do

Sanctions and personal accountability 

We work to ensure that those who support and strengthen Putin’s regime face real consequences.

  • The Lists of 50 — in response to the murder of Alexei Navalny, we proposed lists of 50 key Putin associates to the United States, the European Union, Canada, and the United Kingdom. In 2025, Canada became the first country to adopt our list in full, setting an important precedent for international pressure. We are pushing for other countries to follow this example.
  • We compile and maintain the ACF Sanctions List—the largest database of Putin’s corrupt enablers, war criminals, and propagandists.
  • We expose the schemes Putin uses to corrupt Western elites and launder money stolen from the Russian people.
  • We advocate for Russia's political prisoners.
  • We lead major political campaigns to fight Putin’s agents: raising awareness among local politicians, publishing op-eds in the media, and organizing protest actions with other activists.

Global Advocacy

We engage with policymakers, parliamentarians, and law enforcement agencies in different countries, submit requests to competent authorities, and run international campaigns to:

  • Increase pressure on Putin’s inner circle abroad, ensuring political and legal accountability,
  • Seize assets of Putin’s elite uncovered by our investigations,
  • Counter the normalization of support for Vladimir Putin by speaking to broad audiences about his crimes and exposing his attempts to make supporting the war seem acceptable. We will not allow these crimes—or their perpetrators—to be forgotten.
