Elena Bonner: Living a big lie in Putin's new

The Sunday Times, February 18, 2001

Today total state terror seems impossible, but we lived, and continue to live, in a state of lies. The great lie calls Russia a democratic state. The barely created election procedures were violated during the elections in Chechnya, which took place during the first Chechen war, and again in Yeltsin's 1996 election victory - which was decided largely by money and not the will of the voters. Then came the appointment of Putin as Yeltsin's heir, as if Russia were a monarchy.

The Russian Journal, By Michael Heath,

January 17, 2000

To call for a halt to a hugely popular war in the midst of an election campaign, as liberal Yabloko leader Grigory Yavlinsky did late last year, would normally amount to political suicide.

Removing the bandits and saving our own peoples' lives

By Grigory Yavlinsky, Chairman of the Yabloko Association, Yabloko Rossiyi, No. 50, November 20-26, 1999

Recent developments confirmed yet again the correctness of our stance. Owing to negotiations Gudermes was taken by our army without a single shot of gun fire, followed by Akhchoi-Martan. In August-September we discovered that if the local population supports the Russian authorities and the actions of the military, this leads to effective measures to overcome the bandits.

Six Conditions for Maskhadov

By Grigory Yavlinsky, Chairman of the Yabloko Association, Obschaya Gazeta, No. 45, November 11, 1999

Today the problem of Chechnya is the most difficult one for Russia. This is primarily because here we are confronted with a lethal threat to hundreds of thousands of really unfortunate, innocent women, old people and children, ordinary citizens of the Russian Federation, Chechnians by birth who simply want to live and work on their land.

Declaration of Grigory Yavlinsky, head of the Yabloko faction in the State Duma on November 9 1999

The situation in Russia has become increasingly tense. There are hundreds of thousands of refugees in the Northern Caucasus; there is the threat of a wide-scale partisan war in winter, an increase in civilian casualties, and the provocation of conflicts between the military and the civil leadership of the country owing to unclear political prospects in Chechnya all this becomes a serious factor behind political destabilisation.

Interview of Sergei Stepashin for the programme "Geroi Dnya" ("Hero of the Day") programme

NTV Programme, Interviewer - Svetlana Sorokina, October 5, 1999

Stepashin: I think that, as far as I understand Vladimir Putin, one of his main tasks was to enlist our support. Let us be honest. For today we are involved in a full-scale military operation in Chechnya. We call it a war against terrorism, but it is absolutely clear that, when artillery and aviation are employed and the troops have already approached the Terek River, this certainly means war.
