The Yabloko party states that large-scale political reprisals have been unleashed in Russia. The intensification of the persecution of political opponents and merely those people who actively disagree with Putin’s policies represents a direct consequence of the unlawful changes in the Constitution of the Russian Federation implemented by the regime in July 2020.

The Bureau of the Yabloko party notes that the presidential address of Vladimir Putin to the Federal Assembly did not contain a single answer to the most pressing issues for [Russian] citizens (such as drop of incomes, price rise and stagnation of the economy), neither did it contain a clear strategy for solving these problems.

April 21 again became the day of the triumph of police arbitrariness in Russia. Once again, mass-scale, unmotivated detentions of participants in peaceful actions with unjustified and disproportionate use of force took place throughout the country.
We note the particularly brutal actions of the security forces in St. Petersburg against the backdrop of the relatively reserved behaviour of the Moscow police.

Chairman of the Yabloko Party Nikolai Rybakov spoke at a meeting of the Party Bureau on 22 April, 2021. In his speech, Rybakov assessed the President’s Address to the Federal Assembly.
According to Rybakov, Vladimir Putin’s address was no different from his messages of previous years – the President did not propose measures to get the country out of the crisis, and traditionally did not respond to the main problems that worry citizens: poverty, corruption, unemployment, and the inaccessibility of medical care.
“Putin promised to buy ambulances, but it is not clear how they will get to people along the broken roads,” Nikolai Rybakov said.

The YABLOKO congress states that the situation in our country has qualitatively changed over the past year. On 1 July, 2020, there was a breakdown of the Russian statehood in the form in which it existed for almost 30 post-Soviet years. The Constitution has been ousted from the legal field, and the process of destruction of law has been launched on a national scale.

To what condition have they brought the country, so that in 2021, literally, a possible war with Ukraine is all over the news? What had to be done with the people so that they could seriously discuss how the Ukrainian army could threaten Rostov-on-Don, Taganrog, and Belgorod? What did the media need to be turned into so that they whipped up an atmosphere of hatred from morning till night – not only towards Ukrainians, not only towards the West, but also towards their own citizens who dare to speak up against the regime and against the war?

Dmitry Peskov’s [Vladimir Putin’s Press Secretary] statements that Russia “is not going to move” towards war with Ukraine, but “will not remain indifferent to the fate of Russian speakers who live in the southeast of the country” are not a sign of abandoning the planned scenario, but represent another bundle of firewood laid into the fire of war, which could flare up at any moment.

Chairman of Nizhny Novgorod branch of Yabloko Oleg Rodin sent another appeal to the Control and Accounts Chamber of the city of Nizhny Novgorod demanding to cancel the auction for leasing 11 tram cars in retro style.
The Chairman of the Nizhny Novgorod branch of Yabloko considers the purchase unreasonable, in his opinion, the actions of the administration contribute to the overestimation of budget expenditures and violate the principle of efficient use of budget funds.

On 9 April, the Federal Security Service (FSB) conducted a six-hour search of the house of Roman Anin, Editor-in-Chief of Vazhniye Istorii (Important Stories). After the search, the investigators took the journalist away for questioning. We consider such actions to be a crude attempt to put pressure on independent journalism and demand that the investigative actions against Roman Anin be stopped.
