One Can Influence Politics: An Interview with Grigory Yavlinsky

Grigory Yavlinsky is the head of the “Yabloko” party in Russia -- a party that has been described as decidedly liberal in its outlook. Yavlinsky is a former economist, and was a candidate for the Russian presidency in 1996, an election in which he finished with less than 10% . He is expected to be a key player --whether as a candidate or not -- in Russia’s 2000 elections.

Yavlinsky was born in the Ukrainian city of Lvov in 1952. He became deputy director of the Council of Ministers of the Russian Federation -- when it was still part of the USSR -- in 1991.

Last week he agreed to this interview with a member of the IntellectualCapital.ru staff. Here is a translated, and edited, version of the transcripts.
