In February 2004, with the support of the Russian NGOs and the United States, the Novorossiysk Human Rights Committee and the International Organization for Migration launched a program to relocate the Meskhetian Turks from Krasnodar Krai to the United States[6].

From September 2005, nearly 21,000 people had applied for the program and 5,000 people had moved to more than 60 American cities such as Portland, Philadelphia, Atlanta, Knoxville, and Kent. From 2014, 2,500 Meskhetian Turks lived in Dayton alone.

Yury Mosha’s human rights work to combat racial discrimination in Krasnodar Krai led to Yury’s immigration to the United States due to political persecution by the Russian government.

In 2004, Yury led the Krasnodar Krai government in the fight against the illegal transfer of Novorossiysk’s Zarya TV to RTN.

In 2009, Yury Mosha was one of the first to support the Russian police officer Alexey Dymovsky, who posted a YouTube video directed at the Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin and Russian officers.

In 2011, Mosha moved to the United States for permanent residence[1].

In 2018-2019, he sued Yandex and Google in New York courts to protect the honor and dignity of citizens.

In 2019, he set up the “Committee against Internet Slander, Discrimination, and Persecution.”

In 2020, he has spoken to media outlets such as Media Post and Law Fuel about repealing Section 230[9],[3].
