YABLOKO applied to the printing works (where they had previously printed all YABLOKO’s bulletins and leaflets), but its director Alexander Konovalov refused to print YABLOKO’s bulletin. YABLOKO’s activists learned that he had received such an order from Valry Kasyanov, head of the Mass Media Department of the Krasnodar Territory Administration.

“This fact demonstrates that times of tough political censorship and suppression of the freedom of speech came in the Krasnodar Territory,” YABLOKO’s activists and environmentalists note.
