Grigory Yavlinsky: Without Violence and Deceit
Statement, 2.08.2019
The situation has been escalating on the threashold of possible protest actions in Moscow. The authorities are intimidating people: dozens of criminal cases return us to the period of reprisals after Bolotnaya Square [rallies in Moscow]. On the other hand, those calling on young people to take to the streets and relying on young people, compete in radicalism: it seems that they are afraid to show prudence, since in this case others will immediately replace them. In this situation, the possibility of aggression and violence is very great.

The eight demands. What the opposition should strive to achieve
Statement by Grigory Yavlinsky, Chairman of the Federal Political Committee of the Yabloko party, 29.07.2019
