In 2012, he founded the russian historical society. Under his leadership, the organisation holds events aimed at promoting pro-russian ideas and distorting the facts of Ukrainian history. Naryshkin regularly makes statements in support of the war against Ukraine.
For example, on 25 March 2022, Naryshkin's statement on support for "the russian armed forces defending Donbas from aggression by the Kyiv regime" appeared on the portal of the russian historical society.
In addition, he is the head of the "history of the fatherland" fund, which finances projects related to illegal archaeological excavations in the temporary occupied Crimea and propaganda activities in the temporary occupied territories.
For example, in 2022, the Naryshkin Foundation funded the Artesian Archaeological Expedition near the temporarily occupied city of Kerch. The foundation also supported the creation of the exhibition "Crimean Spring. A Journey of 10 Years" in the so-called "Tavrida Museum" in the temporarily occupied Simferopol.
