Full analysis
Overview
The website is an informational Russian-language site for “Зелёный Союз,” presenting local environmental activities, public monitoring reports concerning the Botanical Garden of Southern Federal University, news, an organisational address in Rostov-on-Don, and contact details. Its apparent purpose is civic and environmental communication rather than commerce, financial services, or collection of sensitive information.
Scam/Impersonation Risk
A confirmed blacklist entry creates a material security concern despite the site’s otherwise benign informational presentation. The available page content does not show brand impersonation, phishing forms, login functionality, payment flows, wallet interaction, or other direct abuse mechanisms; however, the external reputation signal is sufficiently significant that the website should not be treated as suitable for sensitive interaction. The site’s stated environmental purpose therefore does not, by itself, resolve the contradiction between its content and the external threat assessment.
- The homepage identifies “Зелёный Союз” as a local civic organisation and describes public environmental monitoring activities.
- External reputation assessment records a confirmed blacklist hit; additional limited malicious or suspicious detections were also recorded.
- Domain registration: 2009-08-09; age 17.04 years.
- No brand impersonation, phishing form, hidden form, wallet connection, or password-external form was detected during page and behavior analysis.
Regulatory Verification Notes
The homepage provides an organisation name, a Rostov-on-Don street address, activity descriptions, and a contact channel, but the supplied pages do not establish an independently verified legal operator or provide a licensing or registration number. For a civic-information site, the absence of a disclosed financial licence is not inherently anomalous; nevertheless, the operator’s real-world identity remains unverified and the available disclosure is insufficient for institutional reliance. No matching third-party broker profile was identified, which is neutral context rather than proof of legitimacy. The domain’s long registration history and valid transport security are positive technical indicators, but they do not override the reputation concern or independently authenticate the operator.
- The homepage displays the name “Зелёный Союз,” an address in Rostov-on-Don, and descriptions of public-monitoring work; no licence or registration number is shown in the supplied content.
- Registered 2009-08-09; expiration 2027-08-09; registrar: BEGET-RU.
- Hosted on AS198610, BEGET-AS – Beget LLC, RU.
- TLS certificate: issuer YR2, DV validation, valid to 2026-11-01T03:47:10+00:00.
What to Verify Next
Before any sensitive engagement, an institution should independently confirm that the named civic organisation and address correspond to a real, currently operating entity, using an offline or independently sourced channel rather than relying solely on the website. Any proposed donation, partnership, data exchange, or document submission should be validated through the relevant organisation, registry, or sponsoring institution, with payment protections and limited data disclosure applied. Official support and contact channels should also be confirmed independently.
- The homepage contains no transactional forms, login mechanism, or sensitive-data collection workflow.
- The supplied page content describes environmental monitoring and public activity but does not identify an independently verified legal entity.
- The site’s external reputation contains a confirmed blacklist signal requiring independent validation before sensitive interaction.
Summary Verdict
The website presents as a longstanding informational community site with coherent environmental content, but its overall posture is moderate trust with elevated sensitive-interaction risk. The operator identity is not independently verified, and the confirmed external blacklist signal prevents the site from being treated as established and safe for credentials, financial activity, or other sensitive engagement.
Infrastructure Integrity
The site resolves to a single direct hosting address with no detected CDN or WAF and no separate edge-IP layer. Its hosting is provided by Beget LLC in Russia under AS198610; this is a factual infrastructure characteristic, not evidence of legitimacy, and the absence of an identified protective edge layer means there is limited infrastructure-based mitigation to offset the reputation concern.
Closing Assessment
The appropriate institutional posture is restricted, read-only review until the organisation, contact channels, and intended interaction are independently validated; sensitive submissions, credentials, and financial activity should not proceed on the basis of the website alone.

About this assessment
A trust score summarises the evidence TrustSniffer could collect about greenunion.ru at assessment time. It is a starting point for your own judgement, not a guarantee: a high score means the signals were consistent with a legitimately operated site, a low or critical score means several risk patterns were present.
TrustSniffer assesses a website from the evidence it can collect at a point in time: domain registration and age, hosting and certificate, the content the site served, and third-party reputation feeds. A score is a summary of that evidence, not a guarantee and not a legal finding. There is no human rating and no user review in it. A site can change after it is assessed.
