* Grigory Yavlinsky and Sergei Mitrokhin gave the time
of their speeches scheduled for the rally to Alexei
Sklyarov, Editor-in-Chief the Pulse company – an independent
television company in Azov which has been facing reprisals
and threats of closure for their active participation in election
monitoring.
If I speak at the rally on March 10, I would demanded the
following from the authorities:
- release of political prisoners;
- show mercy and pardon those who committed minor offenses;
- stop unlawful prosecution of businessman Alexei Kozlov;
- investigate all the cases of fraud at [parliamentary] elections
of December 4 and [presidential] elections of March 4, punish
the guilty, completely reform the Central Electoral Commission
and dismiss Vladimir Churov, head of the commission;
- immediately consider together with the newly emerging public
committees for political reform proposals for the radical
change of the electoral system and to adopt such proposals.
We continue fighting for what I and Sergei Mitrokhin spoke
about at the rallies on December 10, December 17, December
24, demonstration of February 4 and on March 5:
- complete replacement of the present closed authoritarian,
oligarchic, inhuman political system and legal removal of
the ruling group headed by Vladimir Putin from governing;
- creation in Russia of a system in which law would be the
same for everybody, property - inviolable and the court -
independent;
- creation of committees for political reform across the country,
freedom of media from censorship and uniting of the democratic
forces;
- development of a political, economic, moral and personal
ALTERNATIVE to the present regime which would be able to win
in a peaceful and legitimate political struggle.
We do not forget anything, do not say meaningless words and
will not give up our fight until we hit our goals.
Russia demands changes!
