“The main thing that each of us must do today is not to fall under the influence of the deceptive propaganda, not to spread it and refute it. The Russian authorities have come to the dead end are trying to advertise the society model of the collapsed Soviet Union proposing that the citizens should renounce their political freedoms for momentary prosperity. This is an obvious lie and nonsense”, commented Grigory Semyonov, deputy Chair of the Moscow branch of YABLOKO.
