Complete interview with English subtitles
Since the late 1980s, Russia has repeatedly found itself at critical crossroads. There was a choice, there was an opportunity to fundamentally change the country’s future for the better and avoid another tragedy. In other words, over the past 35 years, Russia has repeatedly had a real alternative – to move along the path of creating a modern law governed state that protects life, freedom and human rights, build a highly efficient modern world-class market economy, follow the path of peace, not war (more on why and how the political system that led to 24 February, 2022 appeared in Russia: “Russia-2022: Underlying Causes” ).

Nikolai Rybakov’s Telegram channel, 8.10.2024
The fighting in Ukraine has been going on for two and a half years. Politicians continue talking about “victory”. But no one understands that when there are so many victims, no one has won, everyone has lost.
Politicians have proven that they failed to do their job by allowing so many people to die in the 21st century.

Today’s searches at Lev Shlosberg’s and his father’s apartment represent a continuation of the political intimidation campaign by the authorities against our comrade and the entire Pskov branch of our party.
When the authorities cannot, are not capable of conducting an honest competitive struggle with their opponents, they resort to such methods.
Yabloko will provide Lev Shlosberg with all possible support. However, I would like to note that the wheel of repression will stop only when society forms an absolute rejection and non-acceptance of the very strategy of eliminating opponents, defamation of those who disagree with the authorities and the search for enemies, internal and external.

Press Release, 30.09.2024
September 29 marked 67 years since the Kyshtym nuclear accident – a nuclear explosion at the Mayak chemical plant. The explosion was the result of a violation of the cooling regime of the storage tank for radioactive waste. In its severity, the accident is second only to the Chernobyl and Fukushima-1 accidents. 1,007 personnel of the internal troops of the USSR Ministry of Internal Affairs, who were guarding nuclear industry facilities, were exposed to radiation. 12 years ago, a stone was laid in Chelyabinsk for a monument to the victims of radiation, but the authorities have not yet found a way to install it. The Chelyabinsk Yabloko activists visited the site of the future memorial and honoured the memory of the victims of the Kyshtym accident.

Abstracts from Grigory Yavlinsky’s interview to RTVi, 17.09.2024
It is obvious to everyone that Russia and Ukraine are currently unable to conduct any meaningful peace talks, that the situation on the battlefield is at a dead end, and the number of victims of the military confrontation has been growing every day. Therefore, the only thing that can and should be done now is to conclude a ceasefire agreement and stop killing people. But to take this vital step, it is necessary to understand the irreversible tragedy and strategic futility of what is happening, the will and diplomatic wisdom of the leaders of Russia, Ukraine, the USA, Great Britain, the European Union, and perhaps also China, India and Brazil are required.
