He stressed that Yabloko stood for the European way of development for Russia – for fair judicial system, equal rights for all citizens and independent mass media.

Moscow Yabloko Youth activists spoke about their plans for the future. They are determined to participate in the forthcoming municipal elections in Moscow as candidates.
