Press Release, 23.03.2023
On 22 March, the Yabloko Party University hosted a lecture “Legal Possibilities to Conduct Politics in Russia after 24 February, 2022: the Risks and Opportunities for the Yabloko Party”. The lecturer was Lev Shlosberg, a member of the Federal Political Committee of the Yabloko party and head of the Pskov branch of Yabloko. The lecture was held in the central office of Yabloko in Moscow and was also streamed.
Since 2022, Russia has been living under wartime conditions, military censorship inclusive. Public political statements and actions of citizens who disagree with the authorities can become the basis for political repression any time: administrative and criminal prosecution, deprivation of rights and imprisonment. In such a situation, the goals, objectives and methods of work of a democratic liberal political party must correspond to the condition and expectations of that part of Russian society that does not agree with the policies of the authorities and does not intend to leave the country. That’s what the lecture by Lev Shlosberg was about.
