YABLOKO’s leader Sergei Mitrokhin calls all
the Russian citizens who are going to participate in the mourning
rally in memory of the Yegor Sviridov [whose murder and the
following release of the murderers from the police station
provoked mass-scale disorders with nationalistic slogans in
the centre of Moscow on December 11] not to allow for turning
of this mourning event into a nationalistic action. “The fans
should not support nationalists who turn murders into a political
capital,” he said.
On January 15, on the 40th day after the murder, a mourning
rally will take place in Moscow in memory of Yegor Sviridov.
YABLOKO’s representative Artur Grokhovsky joined the organizational
committee of the action so that to avoid another mass turmoil.
Artur calls the participants of the action to abolish any
political symbols and signs during the event, avoid any provocative
slogans or statements and not to conduct any unsanctioned
actions.
“Our goal is to spare no effort so that to avoid another
turmoil like we had at the Manezhnaya square [in the centre
of Moscow] on December 11,” he said.
