Yabloko sees Chubais as obstacle for merger with SPS

The leadership of the Yabloko party currently perceives no possibility of a merger with the Union of Right-Wing Forces, Sergei Mitrokhin, a deputy chairman of the party told reporters on Wednesday. "The main obstacle for the merger is the activity of Anatoly Chubais aimed at splitting the democratic forces," Mitrokhin said. He also added that the RAO UES company (the state-owned energy monopoly headed by Chubais) had sponsored the media campaign seeking to discredit the Yabloko party.

Chubais on Wednesday distributed a letter in which he asked Grigory Yavlinsky of Yabloko to start the process of merging the two leading Russian liberal movements. Early in the afternoon, Yavlinsky told reporters that he had not received such a letter.
