Liu Xiaobo certainly did not attend the Nobel Prize ceremony in Oslo. He was in prison. The Chinese authorities did not allow him to receive the prize even through relatives or friends. It is noteworthy that our country neglected the ceremony of awarding Liu Xiaobo the Prize in 2011. However, we were not alone here: in addition to the Russian ambassador, representatives of Afghanistan, Venezuela, Vietnam, Egypt, Iraq, Iran, Kazakhstan, China, Colombia, Cuba, Morocco, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Serbia, Sudan, Tunisia and the Philippines did not come to ceremony.

Biography of one of the most experienced politicians in Russia
Photo: Vladimir Lukin at the conference of the Moscow branch of YABLOKO
Today is the anniversary of Vladimir Petrovich Lukin, a man with a unique path in politics. Together with Soviet dissidents, he openly opposed the invasion of Soviet troops to Czechoslovakia in 1968, worked as an Ambassador to the US, was an MP of the State Duma and Russia’s Human Rights Ombudsman, and finally was a co-founder of YABLOKO (actually the name of the party is derived from the names Yavlinsky, Boldyrev, Lukin). Now Professor Lukin is a senator of the Federation Council, representing the party in the legislative branch. He is one of the few democratic politicians in Russia who have always managed not only and not so much to oppose the system as to act as a subtle diplomat, influencing it from within, making it more humane and fair. Today we would like to recall the highlights his political biography. Read more »

Grigory Yavlinsky on the G20 summit results, 10.07.2017
Trump is quite unpleasant and even dangerous for us. First of all, this is due to the fact that we are of no interest to him, and he is a deep American provincial. When we create no problem for him or when he cannot use Russia to “troll” his opponents (as he did during the presidential campaign), we simply disappear in his eyes. Therefore Trump can make a decision which will have some very negative consequences for us at any moment out of considerations that have nothing to do with Russia. This has already happened when the US launched a military strike on Syria, which in many respects was defined by the meeting with comrade Xi Jinping and Trump’s desire to show that he is more resolute than Obama following criticism at the domestic level. As for Putin, that American strike did significant damage to his image as a tough Middle East player, which has been earned during months and years at heavy cost and the expense of Russian militants’ lives.
