'The Anti-Corruption Foundation' (ACF) is a non-profit organization that investigates corruption offenses in the highest authorities. It was founded by the politician Alexey Navalny.

Since 2013, the organization has released more than 80 investigations, mainly concerning the activities and earnings of the most influential Russian civil servants and oligarchs, including the Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev and the President Vladimir Putin. After a number of court decisions, FBK was closed by the founders, and then recognized as an extremist organization and officially liquidated.
