Revision as of 18:43, 24 September 2017

Eurasian Observatory for Democracy and Elections (EODE) is a Russia-based Eurasianist non-governmental organization which on its website claims that it monitors elections.[1][2] According to its website, it specializes in the "self-proclaimed republics" (Abkhazia, Transdnistria, Nagorno-Karabakh).[3][1] It is led by the Belgian activist Luc Michel.[4] EODE's other leader is Jean-Pierre Vandersmissen. Both Michel and Vandermissen are followers of the Belgian Neo-Nazi politician Jean-François Thiriart.[5][6][7]

According to Oliver Bullough, on its website the organization stated that "it shares the values of "the current Russian leadership and V.V. Putin.""[8] The organization is committed to a multi-polar world and critical of the "unipolar world dominated in the twenty-first century by the superpower of the United States and its military arm of NATO". It is opposed to the imposition of Western values and the identification of "western-style parliamentary system" with "democracy" as a "universal norm" "not open to criticism". [9]

EODE visited Crimea during the 2014 Crimean referendum international observer team and claimed that the referendum was conducted in a legitimate manner.[10][11]

The organization has offices in Moscow, Paris, Brussels, Sochi and Chișinău.[10]
