Leader of the YABLOKO party Sergei Mitrokhin has summed up
the results of the Moscow City Duma election in his blog at
the Echo Moskvi radio station web-site.
“Proceeding from a number of direct and indirect data, we
can say that YABLOKO obtained about 12% of the votes. Fraud
bit almost two thirds of our votes,” Mitrokhin writes.
Answering the question “who is to blame for the fraud” YABLOKO’s
leader singles out three groups: “the passive protesting majority
allowing the authorities to persuade them that ‘everything
has been already decided for us’”; propagandists of the elections
boycott called ‘a media-Solidarity batch’ by Mitrokhin; and
the authorities.
“Our ultra-radicals are even unable to understand that they
are helping the authorities to avoid anything resembling an
‘orange revolution’”. As only those who participated in the
election go into the streets to protesting against a deceit,”
Mitrokhin says.
According to Mitrokhin, YABLOKO will take another way. “If
100% of the citizens come to the elections, they will inevitably
sweep away the ballot-riggers either at the election or at
the Red Square after the fraud”, runs the blog.
