Two municipal deputies from Yabloko – Vladimir Petrov in Seversk, the Tomsk region, and Nikolai Sorokin in Kostroma – were deprived of their mandates. The formal reasons were the demand of the city public prosecutor’s office due to the verdict in a criminal case and “inaccuracies in the declaration”. In fact, in both cases, local authorities got rid of actively working deputies who protected the interests of citizens.

On 17 April, the majority of deputies of the Moscow City Duma ignored Sergei Mitrokhin’s draft appeal to the Moscow Mayor. Mitrokhin demands that Mayor must return to Muscovites their right to get information about construction projects planned in their area. The document, which received support from deputies of A Just Russia and the Communist Party, received only 14 votes in favour, since representatives of pro-government’s United Russia and My Moscow traditionally left the meeting room during the discussion of the draft intiatated by a Yabloko deputy.

On 11 April, the television play “Sforza” was shown at Yabloko as part of the Another View” festival. The performance by Alexei Zherebtsov, based on the novel-play by Sasha Denisova, takes us to Milan in the 15th century. We find ourselves in the Middle Ages with all its attributes: a ruler behind the walls of the Kremlin; poisoning as a method of reprisal against enemies; and traditional spiritual ties and tarot.

On the collapse of the international order formed after the end of World War II and the risks of a major global conflict
Grigory Yavlinsky’s web-site, 12.04.2024
DISINTEGRATION PROCESSES
International political developments today show that the previous world order is irreversibly paying its final bow in history. Against the backdrop of an increase in shocks and risks, the world is becoming more and more unpredictable. It should come as no surprise that this process has been accompanied by the acute and widespread escalation of confrontation, which would lead to a major war[1].

The corresponding letter was sent on behalf of the Yabloko Chairman Nikolai Rybakov to Russian President Vladimir Putin, Chairman of the Russian Government Mikhail Mishustin and Minister of Emergency Situations Alexander Kurenkov.
The leader of Yabloko said that the party considers the disaster in the Orenburg, Kurgan and Chelyabinsk regions to be a national emergency, and after assessing the situation, we can conclude that the resources of regional and local authorities to solve emergency problems are not enough, and humanitarian aid currently delivered to the region by the Ministry of Emergency Situations does not cover people’s needs.

Yabloko’s initiative to reduce the municipal filter for candidates failed
Press Release, 10.04.2024
Photo by the Press Service of the Legislative Assembly of St.Petersburg
Only 17 deputies in the Legislative Assembly of St. Petersburg, supported the initiative of the Yabloko faction to reduce the municipal filter for gubernatorial candidates. Now the city has the highest “threshold” for candidates: to be registered in the race a candidate must provide 10%, i.e. about 150 signatures of St.Petersburg municipal deputies in his/her favour. The law allows to reduce this threashold to 5%, which is what the Yabloko faction proposed to use.
