Grigory Yavlinsky on the criminal case against Lev Shlosberg and the Pskov branch of Yabloko, and the possibility of change in Russia: This is an anti-constitutional act suppressing legal opposition

Ekho Moskvi radio station, 15.02. 2019

Явлинский об уголовном деле против Псковского «Яблока» и возможности перемен в России, 15.02.2019

Григорий Явлинский об уголовном деле против Псковского «Яблока» и возможности перемен в России («Эхо Москвы», 15.02.2019): «…Там произошло беспрецедентное событие: полицейское нападение на офис «Яблока», обыски, изъятие, это впервые – нападение полиции, ФСБ на оппозиционную политическую партию, это беспрецедентное пока в истории событие, это начало нового этапа. Они полагают, что могут безнаказанно обыскивать, запугивать и подавлять деятельность оппозиционной партии, депутата областного Собрания Льва Шлосберга. Это акции, направленные лично на запугивание Льва Шлосберга и подавление деятельности оппозиционной партии. Это история о том, что «Яблоко» якобы неправильно голосовало на выборах губернатора, призывало вычеркивать из бюллетеней губернатора и его оппонентов, которых не считало оппонентами. Примерно то, что говорил Собянин: «Вы приходите, можете всех вычеркнуть, но приходите». Примерно это же сказал Лев Шлосберг. Теперь придумали инкриминировать ему это как уголовное деяние. Шлосберг – яркий человек, он в Пскове заметная фигура, заметная политическая личность, человек, у которого есть внятные политические взгляды. Принадлежит он политической партии, является членом политического комитета партии, которая считает войну с Украиной преступлением, которая считает аннексию Крыма неприемлемой, которая считает необходимым вывод войск из Сирии, которая говорит о том, что в России создано мафиозное государство. Он является лидером. Прецеденты такого рода действий именно против политической партии мне неизвестны, но это антиконституционное действие, подавляющее оппозицию, легальную – подчеркиваю – оппозицию, «Яблоко» 25 лет работает как легальная политическая партия в России, у Шлосберга отделение более 20 лет в Пскове и он является членом псковского парламента. Всё это – набор событий, свидетельствующих о нарастании репрессий на примере Льва Шлосберга. Мы сделали все заявления, лидер партии [Эмилия Слабунова] потребовала объяснений от генеральной прокуратуры и от ФСБ, от Следственного комитета, мы же так это не оставим, мы же понимаем какими [будут] следующие, дальнейшие шаги и куда это приведёт. Цель – запугивание, подавление оппозиции, заставить молчать, прекратить критику псковской власти, впереди всех [ещё не принятых] законов, прийти и проводить такой обыск, изъять документы, изъять жесткий диск. Всё это – подавление деятельности оппозиционной политической партии.Постепенно ситуация заходит в тупик, и она провоцирует тех, кто зашел в этот тупик, на такие действия. Это говорит о том, что у нас впереди политический кризис, это проявление политического кризиса, а политический кризис – это серьёзное событие, которое, с одной стороны, может оказаться весьма тревожным, но, с другой стороны, открывает очень серьёзные возможности, потому что это свидетельствует о том, что система слабнет и у неё начинается перелом. В ближайшее время будут происходить события, которые открывают новые возможности за счёт того, что система постепенно начинает рассыпаться и сбоить. Этот внутриполитический кризис – это всегда возможности – то, чего долго не было. [Силовые действия] – это попытки остановить развитие этого кризиса»

On 15 February, Grigory Yavlinsky, Chairman of Yabloko’s Federal Political Committee and Yabloko founder, commented to the Ekho Moskvi radio station on a criminal case against the Pskov branch of  Yabloko and Lev Shlosberg, Pskov Yabloko leader and MP of the Pskov Regional Assembly.

Yavlinsky noted that the search in the Pskov branch of Yabloko and persecution its leader was a manifestation of the general weakening of power and its increasingly aggressive attempts to preserve itself and create the conditions for a further toughening of the political regime, as opposed to the emerging possibilities for change in the era of the general political crisis in Russia.

“… An unprecedented thing happened there: a police attack on the Yabloko office, searches and seizure [of hard disks and documents], this is the first time that police and Federal Security Service (FSB) attack an opposition political party, this is an unprecedented event in history, this is the beginning of a new phase.

They believe that they can search, intimidate and suppress with impunity the activities of the opposition party and Lev Shlosberg deputy of the Regional [legislative] Assembly. These are actions targeted personally at intimidation of Lev Shlosberg and suppression of the activities of the opposition party.

This case is about that Yabloko allegedly incorrectly voted in the elections of the Governor [of the Pskov Region], called for crossing out of the ballots the Governor and his opponents, whom Yabloko did not consider as opponents. It was approximately what [Mayor of Moscow] Sergei Sobyanin said: “Come, and you can cross out everyone, but please do come”. Lev Shlosberg said approximately the same thing.  Now they invented how to incriminate this to him as a criminal act.

Shlosberg is a bright man, he is a prominent figure in Pskov, a prominent political person, a man who has clear political views.

He belongs to a political party, is a member of the Political Committee [which is a steering body] of the party, which considers the war with Ukraine a crime, which considers the annexation of Crimea unacceptable, which considers it necessary to withdraw troops from Syria, which suggests that a mafia state has been created in Russia. He is a leader.

I don’t know the precedents of such actions against a political party, but this is an anti-constitutional action, suppressing the opposition, the legal opposition, I should emphasise, Yabloko has been working as a legal political party in Russia for 25 years, Shlosberg has had a [Yabloko] branch for more than 20 years and he is an MP in the Pskov Parliament. All this is a set of events testifying to the increase in reprisals on the example of Lev Shlosberg.

We made all the statements, our party leader [Emilia Slabunova] demanded explanations from the Public Prosecutor General’s Office and from the FSB, from the Investigation Committee, we will not leave it, we understand what the next steps will be and where it will lead.

The goal is to intimidate, suppress opposition, silence, stop criticism of the Pskov government, and ahead of all [not yet adopted] laws, come and conduct such a search, seize documents, seize a hard disk. All this represents suppression of the activities of the opposition political party.

Gradually, the situation has been coming into a deadlock, and it provokes those who got into this deadlock to take such action. This suggests that we have a political crisis ahead, this is a manifestation of a political crisis, and a political crisis is a serious event that, on the one hand, can be very alarming, but, on the other hand, it opens up very serious opportunities, because it testifies that the system is weak and it is coming to a turning point.

In the near future there will be developments opening up new opportunities due to the fact that the system begins to gradually crumble and fail. This internal political crisis is always an opportunity – something that has not been here for a long time. [Force actions] represent the attempts to stop the development of this crisis…”
