Emilia Slabunova, member of the Federal Political Committee of the Yabloko party and MP of the Legislative Assembly of Karelia, believes that Larissa Boychenko, Human Rights Ombudsperson in the Republic of Karelia, should be dismissed.
Slabunova came to the conclusion about the incompetence of the Ombudsperson after reading the report of the Human Rights Commissioner for 2019. It turned out that the text of the report was largely copied from the reports of the Russian Ombudsperson Tatyana Moskalkova. There are large parts of reports by the Russian Ombudsperson from different years, up to 2013, copied to the report of the Karelian Commissioner.

The authorised representative of the Yabloko regional office in the Leningrad Region appealed to the regional authorities with a proposal to postpone the public discussion of all high-profile waste management projects for a period after the coronavirus epidemic ends and living conditions in the Leningrad region come to its normal state.
“The whole history of recent years shows that the issues of the location and reconstruction of waste management facilities in the Leningrad Region cause a heated public discussion, often taking the form of protest rallies and spontaneous popular gatherings,” recalls Oksana Demchenko, authorised representative of the Yabloko party in the Leningrad Region. “We are convinced that the epidemic of coronavirus infection and the forced self-isolation of residents of the Leningrad Region are currently hindering a full-fledged public discussion of any planned economic activity, in particular waste management facilities, which always attract increased attention from citizens.”
