On the death of Yegor Gaidar

Condolences from Sergei Mitrokhin and Grigory Yavlinsky

December 16, 2009

The Russian United Democratic Party YABLOKO conveys our deep condolences to the next-of-kin, friends and colleagues of Yegor Timurovich Gaidar.

His death is a great loss for all of us. We held different views on many issues in politics, economy and domestic situation in the country. However, Yegor Gaidar played a significant and non-simple role in Russia’s history.

His death is also a loss for the academic science and academic community. As a scholar Yegor Gaidar has made a lot for evaluation of the changes that have been taking place in Russia’s economy for the past 20 years and understanding what should be done in the future.

Sincerely,
Sergei Mitrokhin

Sincerely,
Grigory Yavlinsky
