YABLOKO’s leader Sergei Mitrokhin calls all the Russian citizens who are going to participate in the mourning rally in memory of the Yegor Sviridov [whose murder and the following release of the murderers from the police station provoked mass-scale disorders with nationalistic slogans in the centre of Moscow on December 11] not to allow for turning of this mourning event into a nationalistic action. “The fans should not support nationalists who turn murders into a political capital,” he said.

On January 15, on the 40th day after the murder, a mourning rally will take place in Moscow in memory of Yegor Sviridov.

YABLOKO’s representative Artur Grokhovsky joined the organizational committee of the action so that to avoid another mass turmoil.

Artur calls the participants of the action to abolish any political symbols and signs during the event, avoid any provocative slogans or statements and not to conduct any unsanctioned actions.

“Our goal is to spare no effort so that to avoid another turmoil like we had at the Manezhnaya square [in the centre of Moscow] on December 11,” he said.
