 Yeltsin
was an ill � tsar; Putin is a young tsarevich
Interview with Yabloko
faction coordinator Sergei Ivanenko. By Ekaterina Larina,
The Russia Journal Vol.3, No.15April 24-30, 2000,
Sergei Ivanenko is coordinator of the Yabloko
faction in the State Duma and right-hand-man to the party's
leader, Grigory Yavlinsky.
Ivanenko was a member of the Russian delegation
at the recent Council of Europe session that voted to suspend
Russia�s membership, but unlike the majority of the delegation,
he did not protest the council�s decision. A subsequent
resolution passed by the State Duma lower house of parliament
confirmed the delegation's majority stance.
Sergei Ivanenko told The Russia Journal
about the Yabloko faction�s position on this issue, the
faction�s plans and his personal views on Russian politics.
RJ: As one of the leaders of the Russian
delegation to the Council of Europe Parliamentary Assembly,
how do you view the Duma�s statement?
