Yuri Schekochikhin is an event in the lives of all of us,
an event both in our journalism and in politics. Whatever
he did - wrote play scripts, engaged in journalist investigation
or worked as a Russian parliament member – all was very different
from how other people did this, all had an imprint of his
personality, talent and his understanding of freedom and justice.
Yuri Petrovich was not merely a politician in the ordinary
sense or the word, he understood life as the one who had the
ability to transform it. A special atmosphere always emerged
around him, and there was place for different people by his
side. And he still unites us all, we do not simply keep memories
of him, but feel his presence in our life.
Yuri Schekochikhin has always been and remains our friend.
Sincerely,
Grigory Yavlinsky
