Statement by YABLOKO Bureau, 02.11.2016
The campaign on banning abortions which started and then subsided in 2011 has resumed with renewed vigor. A group of senators, including Elena Mizulina, Ekaterina Lakhova and Elena Afanasyeva introduced amendments to the law “On Circulation of Pharmaceuticals” prohibiting retail sale of medicinal products intended for medical termination of pregnancy. Collections of signatures for a ban on abortion began on the portal of the Russian Public Initiative. Patriarch [of the Russian Orthodox Church] Kirill who repeatedly advocated the removal of abortion from the Compulsory Medical Insurance has put his signature too. A rally for a ban on abortion in Moscow organised by public movements Pro Life, Orthodox Volunteers, Sorok Sorokov, and Women for Life launched a public campaign for collection of signatures for a ban on abortion. The requirements for a ban on abortion relate even to the cases of rape or incurable diseases of the fetus. Read more »

It was not so long ago. In our country. This happened to our grandfathers and great-grandfathers. Millions of innocent people fell victims of political terror on the part of their own state. The Bolshevik system was protecting itself destroying the brightest, bravest and most educated, the best people of the country. However, to this day, all these crimes have not been recognised as such politically, the state have not given its assessment to Bolshevism and Stalinism and corresponding conclusions have not been made. On the contrary, the atmosphere of arbitrary rule on the part of the state and the risk of recurrence of political reprisals are becoming more pronounced. The murders of [oppositional politician] Boris Nemtsov and [journalist and human rights activist] Anna Politkovskaya are another proof of this.

Press Release, 20.10.2016
Proceeding from the forecast of the development of the Russian economy until 2035 published by the Ministry of Economic Development, the economy will be struggling to overcome the stagnation of the next 20 years, but it will not succeed.

Coming out of the recession in 2017, the economy will grow very slowly in the next 20 years by 2 per cent per year on the average (from 1.7 per cent to the maximum of 2.6 per cent). This is about 1.5 times less than the world average rates: thus, Russia will be moving closer towards the poorest countries. Read more »
