Searches in the apartments of Sergei Udaltsov and his parents
are deepening the political crisis in the country and reinforce
the split between the state and the society.
Sergei Udaltsov is not a criminal and he did not commit any
economic crimes.
He is a politician representing the left radical political
opposition.
The search in the apartment of a political opponents of the
government in connection with his political activities is
a repressive act of political revenge.
The state carrying out such actions abolishes the democratic
basis of its legitimacy and declares itself a police and repressive
state.
The authorities that decided to go to such actions must realise
that degrading effects of fear and tyranny will affect the
entire country, the entire state system, rather than one or
several persons.
We express our resolute protest against the police searches
on political grounds and urge the authorities to stop this
immediately.
Sergei Mitrokhin
