A time of troubles and change
By GRIGORY YAVLINSKY
Full version, 26.11. 2017
A number of recent events have radically changed the self-awareness of millions of people all over the world, primarily in the most economically developed parts, which had been objectively until now at the forefront of development in the world and defined to a large extent the image of world order.
In particular, this concerns the rise of anti-globalist and traditional feelings in developed countries, something which came as a shock to many people and determined significantly the results of the referendum in Great Britain to leave the European Union and the presidential elections in the USA. This rise was attributable to a general change in the worldwide perception of globalisation from feelings of great hope and optimism to a prevalence of anxiety, concern and a vast range of fears.
This also due to objective changes in the nature of globalisation, which has in actual fact acquired a more chaotic, less controllable, and in many cases overtly disorganised character, when flows of people, capital, and technologies arising spontaneously prevent national governments from asserting control over the state of employment, income, prevailing expectations and moods in extremely broad social strata.

Briefly about the Normandy Four meeting: it is well, that it has taken place. Now, until December 31, an exchange of prisoners will be possible – “all for all”.
As for the rest… Vladimir Zelensky said that the principles on which he was building his policy were the three impossibilities:
– federalisation of Ukraine;
– the influence of other forces on its policies;
– compromises to resolve the conflict through the cession of the territory.

Decision by the Yabloko Bureau, 4.12.2019
The Bureau of the Russian United Democratic Party Yabloko considers the situation in the area of the Shies railway station (the Arkhangelsk region) unacceptable due to dangerous plans for allocation of landfills for the Moscow municipal waste. This situation is a vivid example of the lack of a clear state policy in the field of municipal waste management and the adoption of this by society.
