Sergei Mitrokhin FB post of 07.06.2017:
Larissa Yudina, Editor-in-Chief of the Sovetskaya Kalmykia paper and leader of the regional YABLOKO branch in Kalmykia, was killed on this day 19 years ago. She was killed for having dared to write the truth about the corrupt regime of [then head of Kalmykia and now head of FIDE, the World Chess Association] Kirsan Ilyumzhinov in her paper. She was assassinated by his “legal adviser”, however, the person who had ordered that crime, as always, escaped responsibility. All these 19 years I have publicly expressed the version, that it was Ilyumzhinov [who did it]. And I will further voice it, until the court proves the opposite. WE WILL NOT FORGET IT AND WILL NOT FORGIVE IT!

Press Release, 06.06.2017
Yabloko was not allowed to participate in the parliamentary hearings on the renovation of Moscow housing, as the State Duma was frightened of unenviable uncomfortable questions the deputies had to face. The so-called “renovation” implies that a full 10 per cent of Moscow’s housing is set to be torn down and 1.6 million people moved as the city’s five-storey housing is destroyed. The government’s and the Moscow Mayor’s bill envisages resettlement of people without guaranteeing them their property rights or moving them to the flats of equal value. The government’s plan has already become a scandal, however the government insists on the adoption of the bill, but Moscow residents demonstrate and rally against it.

Press release, 05.06.2017
Natalia Poklonskaya, deputy of the State Duma and ex Public Prosecutor of Crimea, explained the reporters why she did not declare a car in her income tax statement as well as her husband’s property and income. According to Poklonskaya, she is not married and mentioned that she had a husband in mass media “not to hurt” her admirers. It was reported that she did not yet posses the car when she submitted her income declaration. This was the response Poklonskaya gave to Sergei Mitrokhin, head of Yabloko’s Anti-Corruption Policy Centre, who sent a letter to the Public Prosecutor General demanding to check Poklonskaya’s statements. Yabloko’s Anti-Corruption Policy Centre suspects that Natalia Poklonskaya has not declared a car in her income tax statement, and also conceals her husband’s property and income.

Neither the government nor the society want elections, they are not interested in the elections and do not believe in the election. If it goes like this, there really will be no elections. There will be Putin. Forever.
Protest Actions. The Second Wave
Ten months before the presidential election, politics as a process of choosing the path to the future has completely disappeared from the agenda. Everything is done so that to ensure that no one would be interested in the future, because everyone knows that Putin will remain in power, which means that the present archaic system will be preserved and will become even more authoritarian and more corrupt, and that hard economic period is ahead, that armed conflicts and even war is possible.
