You'd probably have to start a group! Find a catchy name for the group, try to get interviewed on one of the big US based news channels. Expose some real or made-up scandal in the military or something about Russian foreign policy. Tell everyone who wants to listen that Russia is an evil dictatorship and that you have inside info about Putins evil plans... Then spread the rumour that you are persecuted and harassed by the authorities. (I suppose that might almost be true at this point...) When you've done all this, just google grants for human rights activists (or democracy activists) in Russia, start applying and watch the money roll in.Not long after this, the CIA will probably come knocking on your door!
