Who We Are
Soyka NL is a non-profit organization (stichting) that unites Russian immigrants who uphold democratic values, both in the Netherlands and abroad. Our mission is to advocate for human rights, peace, and social justice, while also providing support and humanitarian aid to those affected by war and repression.
Our values:
-
freedom
-
democracy
-
equality
-
rule of law
-
and respect for human rights.
Since our establishment, we have assisted over 6,000 refugees in the Netherlands and are committed to expanding our impact further. Additionally, we host events to disseminate accurate information about Russian politics and society and to foster a supportive community.
Core Projects
Targeted aid to refugees
We’re filling the gaps that large NGOs and governments often miss. Whether it’s stuff for kids, sport equipment, much-needed appliances, or support for mental well-being, we provide the essentials that help refugees rebuild their lives.
So far, we’ve supported over 5,000 refugees in the Netherlands—and we’re just getting started.
Capacity building
We've launched a website and a TG-bot that brings together antiwar initiatives led by Russians around the world. Our mission is to capture the attention of politicians, journalists, and the broader public, encouraging them to get involved. Additionally, we curate open calls for funding applications that support antiwar initiatives and independent media, helping to amplify their impact.

The board (Bestuur) is responsible for governance, strategic direction, legal compliance, financial oversight, risk management, community engagement, transparency, and ethical integrity. In addition to the board, there are several dozen volunteers who dedicate their time and effort to support our shared mission.
