Grigory Yavlinsky: “This is a crime of the Stalin’s regime and the entire Bolshevik system”

Lubyanka, 2019. Returning of the Names, an action in memory of victims of political repressions – millions of people were killed [in Stalin’s period]. This is a crime of the Stalin’s regime and the entire Bolshevik system. But the Russian authorities still refuse to give an official legal assessment to all of this. The propaganda of Stalinism is only increasing. They still vote for Stalinists-Communists. The modern Putin’s system is built entirely on the unlawful authoritarian-personalist government of the country (see “Great Terror and Modern Bolshevism” http://eng.yabloko.ru/?p=18017 ).
Thousands of citizens in Moscow came to honour the memory of those executed and repressed. Everyone who came had the opportunity to read out one name of the millions repressed. Thanks to the Memorial society for organising the returning of the names of the victims.
May the memory of the victims of political terror last forever.
Freedom for political prisoners!
