of the RF”belies common sense
RBC, November 29, 2000
The First Deputy Head of the Yabloko faction
in the State Duma Sergei Ivanenko thinks that the draft
law on guarantees for the President of the RF, considered
by the lower chamber of the parliament today belies common
sense, as it grants the ex-President more guarantees than
the present President of the RF.
One
Can Influence Politics: An Interview with Grigory Yavlinsky
Grigory Yavlinsky is the head of the “Yabloko”
party in Russia -- a party that has been described as decidedly
liberal in its outlook. Yavlinsky is a former economist,
and was a candidate for the Russian presidency in 1996,
an election in which he finished with less than 10% . He
is expected to be a key player --whether as a candidate
or not -- in Russia’s 2000 elections.
Yavlinsky was born in the Ukrainian city of Lvov in 1952.
He became deputy director of the Council of Ministers of
the Russian Federation -- when it was still part of the
USSR -- in 1991.
Last week he agreed to this interview with a member of
the IntellectualCapital.ru
staff. Here is a translated, and edited, version of the
transcripts.
The
Yabloko faction is preparing its proposals on the budget-2001,
with an increase in expenditures on anti-terrorist measures
and compensation for the families of the victims
The Yabloko party thinks that the "leadership of the
country bears political responsibility for the explosion
at Pushkin Square".
Deputy of the State Duma from Yabloko, Alexei Melnikov,
made this statement in an interview with an ITAR-TASS correspondent.

Briefing
of Grigory Yavlinsky on the visit of US President Bill Clinton
to Moscow
June 6, 2000, Moscow, the State Duma
Grigory Yavlinsky: The main purpose of the
visit of the President of the United States to Moscow was
to discuss issues related to the anti-missile defence system.
I think that these talks should be continued with President
Clinton until the elections in the US, and then with the
new President of the United States.
Briefing
of Grigory Yavlinsky after a meeting with his authorised
representatives
Kolloniy Zal Doma Soiyzov, Moscow, March 3, 2000
Grigory Yavlinsky: I would like to stress
that today the other resolutions [of the Chechen problem]
that we witness in Russia are based on violence, rather
than negotiations. This is demonstrated not only in the
Northern Caucasus: it can be easily seen even in the State
Duma, when the Kremlin and its allies, the communists, decide
the key issues behind the formation of the structure of
the State Duma for the long term.
