Press Release
August 17, 2010
The Chelyabinsk branch of YABLOKO submitted 15,000 voters’
signatures for registration in election campaign to the legislative
assembly of the Chelyabinsk region. The Electoral Commission
will have to adopt a decision on registration of the party
in the elections within 10 days.
In this campaign YABLOKO plans to focus on the environment,
which is one of the most acute problems in the Southern Urals.
YABLOKO’s list is topped by a well-known ecologist Natalya
Mironova. The second slogan of the campaign is “Politics is
Women’s Business!” This human rights issue is led by human
rights Activist Farima Kobzhasarova.
In Chelyabinsk, the regional centre, YABLOKO’s activists
campaigned in the streets distributing booklets reflecting
the results of YABLOKO’s performance and YABLOKO’s electoral
programme.
Active campaigning was held in all the large cities in the
region. Such cities as Emanzhelinsk, Yuzhnouralsk, Ust-Katav,
Yuryuzan, Snezhinsk and other were added to traditional “YABLOKO’s”
cities – Miass, Zlatoust and Magnitogorsk.
The specific trait of this campaign was that anyone traveling
in a bus with YABLOKO’s poster could sign a list for YABLOKO
right in the bus.
