Deputy head of the Yabloko faction Sergei Ivanenko thinks that the decision of Evgeni Nazdratenko to resign is "a courageous step". At the same time in an interview with journalists (on February 5, 2001) Ivanenko stressed that "the main task today is to restore all the management systems in Maritime Territory".

"It is not enough to make only Nazdratenko responsible: it should be ascertained whether the RAO "Unified Energy System of Russia" did all that it could", added Ivanenko. He also thinks that the Head of the Energy Ministry A. Gavrin was dismissed as "the scapegoat”. The Energy Ministry has never had the authority that was usually asscribed to this ministry, noted Ivanenko.
