How can it be still unclear to someone that Syria is a trap for Russia? Russia was led into the Syrian trap by the stupidity of Russian foreign policy, its short-sightedness and adventurousness. Any further steps targeted at escalation of Russia’s military actions in Syria only aggravate our situation. The suspension of the memorandum envisaging the mechanisms to avoid incidents between the United States and Russia in Syria means that any stupidity or accident can now lead to a direct clash.

On April 6, the Moscow branch of Yabloko conducted a round table on the demolition of five-storey apartment blocks. In February the Moscow government launched a mass-scale project on the renovation of the housing fund, which involves the demolition of about 8000 apartment blocks constructed in 1950-1972 and rehousing about 1,6 million Muscovites. The scale of the project resulted into the necessity of amendments to the federal legislation, which were introduced to the State Duma. At the same time, the project did not undergo any preliminary public discussion, and the possible consequence of the project still remain unclear. In order to fill up the deficit of information Yabloko organised a round table and invited architectures, city developers, housing experts, sociologists and activists. The experts discovered a large number of defects in the project of the Moscow government: from technical details to its constitutionality.

A correspondent of the RBC Novosibirsk Media Agency interviewed Yabloko Deputy Chair Nikolai Rybakov
– Nikolai Igorevich, you were present at the rally against the construction of the landfill site. What do you think about the action?
– One can see that people realise what they are fighting for. They were caught on the raw. The situation is typical for many regions of Russia. There are examples of small victories. They take place when initiative groups do not retreat for the line of resistance. If you relax for a moment, the fight is lost.
