In Elista, the capital of the Republic of Kalmykia, YABLOKO
had to face a new problem: print shops refused to print YABLOKO’s
leaflets and banners the party was going to use in a picket
against raising of tariffs by the monopolies in the housing
and utilities sector. In the Logo-Pro printshop (address:
Elista, ul Khaninova 8) they boldly stated that they would
not print YABLOKO’s leaflets on “political grounds”.
Having to face such an interaction YABLOKO’s activists had
to make the leaflets and banners in their office with the
help of office PCs and printers. The action will take place
in accordance with the application filed with the local authorities
on February 1 from 10 to 12 a.m.
The action is held within the framework of the all-Russia
against raising of tariffs in the housing and utilities sector
held by YABLOKO. The action was launched in Moscow in late
December. The same actions were conducted in St.Petersburg,
Astrakhan, Ufa, Tomsk, Omsk, Smolensk, Novgorod, Nizhni Novgorod,
Ulyanovsk, Volgograd, Klin and other Russia’s cities and town.
