Appeal of the deputies of regional legislative assemblies of the Russian Federation, 12.08.2020
On August 9, 2020, Svetlana Tikhanovskaya won the presidential elections in the Republic of Belarus. Numerous evidence gives every reason to believe that the election results were falsified. Alexander Lukashenko was declared the winner of the elections, against the will of the Belarusian people.

The nuclear submarine K-141 sank 20 years ago
Grigory Yavlinsky’s web-site, 12.08.2020
On 12 August, 2000, the nuclear submarine K-141 “Kursk” exploded and sank in the Barents Sea during an exercise. Onboard there were 118 crew members: officers, warrant officers, sailors and civilian specialists. All died.
Could the Kursk tragedy result from the deplorable state of the Russian fleet? It could. Could bad weather prevent the rescue operation? They could. Was it possible to allow British and Norwegian rescuers, who possessed special deep-sea equipment, which we did not have, into the area of the sinking? We were obliged to. Was it possible to save the 23 sailors who survived in the 9th compartment? It is unknown.
But the rescuers were not allowed. People were not saved.

Only provocateurs, sadists and rapists should be tried. But all of them in this case are representatives of the state
Grigory Yavlinsky’s web-site, 24.07.2020
The New Greatness case is fabricated. Neither investigators nor prosecutors conceal this. Four law enforcement officers who directly fabricated this criminal case are witnesses in the case: they themselves created an extremist organisation, wrote its charter, they themselves attracted young people into it, instructed the recruited participants and provoked them to make statements they were later charged with.
All the accused are still young people. At the time of the arrest, Anna Pavlikova was 17 years old, Maria Dubovik – 19, Vyacheslav Kryukov – 20, Sergei Gavrilov and Ruslan Kostylenkov – 25, Dmitry Poletayev – 29, Rustam Rustamov – 30, Pavel Rebrovsky – 31, Petr Karamzin – 32, Maxim Roshchin – 39. Some of those arrested under torture and threats gave confessions and made a deal with the investigation, someone managed to escape from house arrest. The girls who were in terrible conditions in the pre-trial detention centre were diagnosed with serious illnesses. Young people were tortured, at least one of those arrested was raped by law enforcement officers. All these are well-known methods of the Stalinist-Bolshevik terror, the tools of the NKVD-KGB punishers. This is the old ignominy, but not the “new greatness.”

In the Arkhangelsk region, Oleg Mandrykin was nominated for the post of Governor. He represents the STOP-SHIES coalition – a protest movement to prevent the construction of landfills in the region, consisting of 36 public organisations and associations. The candidate is actively working so that to pass the “municipal filter”. At present, 165 signatures [of municipal deputies] out of 189 required have been collected and the consent of another 20 municipal deputies has been obtained. [Collection of a certain number of signatures in favour of nomination of candidates is a mandatory requirement of the Russian law. Signatures must be collected in compliance with strict requirements and within a short interval of time. Gubernatorial candidates have to collect signatures of municipal deputies in their support in the situation when most of municipal deputies come from the ruling United Russia party and block candidates from other parties from elections by refusing to sign for them.]
