Leader of Yabloko believes that the instruction of the Federal Security Service to examine anonymous applications from citizens constitutes “sheer arbitrary rule”

February 21, 2001

Chairman of the Yabloko Association Grigory Yavlinsky considers the inter-departmental instruction of the Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation to review anonymous applications from citizens and potentially launch investigations on them as “sheer arbitrary rule placing the greatest possible pressure on citizens.” Such a declaration was made by Yavlinsky at a press conference on February 21, 2001.

“This is a very unpleasant move in its very nature, even though it takes place in many countries,” said Yavlinsky. He added that this would be an even more dangerous tool in Russia, “as with its aid simply everything will become subject to manipulation.” Yavlinsky thinks that “it is highly unlikely that this would mark a return to Stalin’s repressions, however, this innovation may have an adverse impact on the people.”
