Sergei Mitrokhin, leader of the YABLOKO party, called Russia’s
President Dmitry Medvedev not to sign the law on broadening
of the proxies of the FSB (Federal Security Service) adopted
in three readings by the State Duma (the lower chamber of
the Russian parliament) and approved by the Federation Council
(the upper chamber).
“President’s reputation is at stake here, Sergei Mitrokhin
said. – This is the moment of truth for the President: either
he really targets at making Russia a modern law-governed state
or all his speeches about modernization is a part of a cover
operation developed within the Federal Security Bureau”.
YABLOKO’s leader also called Dmitry Medvedev to “abolish
the role of a puppet in the hands of secret services that
try to return Russia to the totalitarian past”.
The YABLOKO party has been conducting a campaign against
adoption of this legislative initiative of the Russian Government.
In view of the call by the Chair of the YABLOKO party to the
President “not to become a FSB puppet” the Youth YABLOKO has
prepared a new action which will take place soon.
