"StraightForward Foundation is a European non-profit organization supporting uncensored documentary projects about Russia. Currently, SFF operates in two directions:

- we help conceive and write non-fiction books that depict what is happening in contemporary Russia and how it became possible;
- we ensure these books reach the international market and are published in various languages.

We only take on projects that are impossible to release in Russia due to repressive laws and military censorship. As of 2024, independent writers and journalists are perceived in Russia as foreign agents, and their books are confiscated from stores and libraries. Human rights, the war in Ukraine, corruption, abuses of power, oppression of minorities and political history are all topics that are currently tightly controlled by officials and law enforcement. Publishing a truthful book on any of these topics in Russia means risking one's own safety and freedom. We help books find readers bypassing censorship."
