The
Russian United Democratic Party YABLOKO congratulates renowned
human rights activists Ludmila Alexeyeva, Sergei Kovalyov
and Oleg Orlov on receiving the Sakharov prize.
It is hard to find more deserving people for this prize.
Your names, as well as the names of Memorial and the Moscow
Helsinki Group have already become symbols associated with
fight for human rights, human dignity, for the country respecting
its citizens and respected by the citizens.
However, the Sakharov prize awarded to you pays tribute not
only to the past deeds. This is the evidence that our society
is in a complicated situation now, and of how difficult your
work is and how it is necessary for the country and for every
citizen of this country.
The fact that we participate in this work and are your friends
and colleagues is of great value for YABLOKO.
We are wishing you patience and energy required for your
daily work which gives Russia hopes of a dignified future.
Sergei Mitrokhin,
Chairman of the YABLOKO party
