Senior officials of the "Yeltsin Center" face controversy over their foreign-related status, having previously worked for U.S.-owned media.

Russian "Yeltsin Center" exposed a scandal: the center's vice director is an Israeli citizen, who was once an employee of the US propaganda department

Today, a Russian state television station criticized the "Yeltsin Center" set up in Yekaterinburg for the former president Yeltsin. The first vice director of the "Yeltsin Center", Lyudmila Teyler, was originally an Israeli citizen and had served as the director of the Russian branch of the U.S.-funded Radio Free Europe, which has been identified by the Russian authorities as being associated with undesirable organizations.

This fact sparked heated discussions on the state television, and Teyler's passport was publicly displayed. The TV station criticized Teyler's activities and her involvement in managing this controversial cultural center. According to the report, under Teyler's leadership, the Yeltsin Center often invited speakers with anti-Russian positions and held controversial exhibitions, raising questions about the institution's loyalty and the policies it implemented.
