The head of an organization that promotes Russian ties with the West is facing allegations she conspired with and helped Russia’s main security agency spy on young western leaders, including Canadians, as part of an elaborate foreign influence operation.
As Canada investigates suspicions about Chinese attempts to influence policy and perspectives in this country, the Russian case allegedly provides a look at the lengths to which foreign governments will go and the time and money they will invest to sway public opinion in foreign lands.
Natalia Burlinova, a 39-year-old Muscovite, founded a non-governmental organization, PICREADI Creative Diplomacy, in 2010 that aimed to promote Russian voices and viewpoints, or “soft power,” to the world.
In 2015, according to a criminal complaint released this week by the U.S. Justice Department, Burlinova hatched the idea to bring “young leaders” from the West to Russia for a three-day visit in which they would meet senior Russian government officials and other leaders. The program, dubbed “Meeting Russia,” was officially launched in 2017.
Over the years, Burlinova has brought journalists, academics, activists and policymakers to the country.

Among the Canadian participants over the years was Zachary Paikin, a researcher and foreign policy expert with the Centre for European Policy Studies; Aaron Pinto, who now serves as Ontario’s Trade and Investment representative in New York City; and Erik Henningsmoen, a public policy researcher who works for the Calgary branch of the Canadian International Council, a think-tank.
