DISINTEGRATION PROCESSES
International political developments today show that the previous world order is irreversibly paying its final bow in history. Against the backdrop of an increase in shocks and risks, the world is becoming more and more unpredictable. It should come as no surprise that this process has been accompanied by the acute and widespread escalation of confrontation, which would lead to a major war[1].

Oleg Petrovich Orlov is 71. He encounters the first day of his life in captivity, where he’s found himself on the decision of a ‘court’ implementing a shameful political order.
The corresponding letter was sent on behalf of the Yabloko Chairman Nikolai Rybakov to Russian President Vladimir Putin, Chairman of the Russian Government Mikhail Mishustin and Minister of Emergency Situations Alexander Kurenkov.
The leader of Yabloko said that the party considers the disaster in the Orenburg, Kurgan and Chelyabinsk regions to be a national emergency, and after assessing the situation, we can conclude that the resources of regional and local authorities to solve emergency problems are not enough, and humanitarian aid currently delivered to the region by the Ministry of Emergency Situations does not cover people’s needs.

In March 2024, Anna Cherepanova, a Yabloko deputy in the Novgorod City Duma, appealed to Public Prosecutor General Igor Krasnov, Director of the Federal Penitentiary Service Arkady Gostev and Human Rights Commissioner Tatyana Moskalkova with a demand to deal with violations of women’s rights in penal colonies in the Altai and Krasnoyarsk territories. The violations became known from a letter from political prisoner Maria Ponomarenko. Maria is a persistent fighter, she does not give up even in detention, she defends the rights of convicts, writes complaints, and demands humane treatment, Anna Cherepanova says.

“People cope on their own, without relying on the authorities.” A story from a Yabloko member about how life is in Orsk after the flood
On the evening of 5 April, emergency reports appeared that a dam broke in the city of Orsk, the Orenburg Region, and that the evacuation of residents began. On 6 April, the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation opened a criminal case on negligence and violation of safety rules during construction work. Water began to enter neighbouring areas, including the capital of the region, Orenburg. The head of the Yabloko party branch in the village of Novaya Biofabrika (Orsk), Nina Avdeyeva, told us about the situation in the city on 10 April:
Yabloko’s initiative to reduce the municipal filter for candidates failed

Only 17 deputies in the Legislative Assembly of St. Petersburg, supported the initiative of the Yabloko faction to reduce the municipal filter for gubernatorial candidates. Now the city has the highest “threshold” for candidates: to be registered in the race a candidate must provide 10%, i.e. about 150 signatures of St.Petersburg municipal deputies in his/her favour. The law allows to reduce this threashold to 5%, which is what the Yabloko faction proposed to use.
The Russian United Democratic Party Yabloko expresses deep condolences to the families of all residents of the Orenburg region who died in the flood. We express solidarity with all those affected by the disaster.

Musicians, artists, restorers, and local historians look for their place in the world through their work.

Il presidente del partito Yabloko:”La Russia è sempre stata, è, e sarà uno Stato europeo. Sia geograficamente che culturalmente Nessuno può negarlo, il nostro destino è di stare insieme”
D In un vostro comunicato stampa esprimete dubbi sui risultati delle elezioni.
R Sì, diverse migliaia di rappresentanti del nostro partito sono membri delle commissioni elettorali distrettuali di livello inferiore (dove si vota direttamente). Ma il sistema in Russia è ormai strutturato in modo tale che tutte le decisioni vengono prese in anticipo. Se nella tua lista di candidati ci sono Putin e altre tre persone che occupano esattamente la stessa posizione politica e che lo sostengono attivamente a che servono le violazioni?
