BoycottSochi.eu was founded because we do not accept breaking human rights and hypocrisy of modern times – which allows to organize second OG in XXI century in country in which there is no democracy. We cannot stand by silently while people are being killed there, freedom and human rights are being broken and cold war times are coming back smoothly and imperceptibly. We won’t stand in silence while Olympic industry continues its decades-long effort to destroy the heritage of baron Pierre de Coubertin idea. Our mission is to represent the position of people who do not agree with it and who are against these proceedings - nearly completely inconsistent with Olimpyc’s ancient bases .We believe that politics should be irrelevant to the Olympics. But anybody who knows Russia, knows that whenever something important happens there, it cannot happen without the permission of those who reign on Kreml. We endeavor to counter misinformation with facts, and to make the public aware of the implications and dire long-term consequences that we all suffer when people remain silent while democracy is being broken by powerful actors on the world stage. There are too many examples of these in the last one hundred years. Our "mission statement" is "NO Democracy – NO Olympic Games". Stop immoral policy decisions!
