Grigory Yavlinsky: The Turkish lesson
Grigory Yavlinsky’s official website, 17.07.2016
Political instability in a neighboring country such as Turkey is a serious trouble for Russia. Neither our country, nor our government is ready for such events close to our borders. At the moment Russia is occupied with military and political games in Syria. However, the events in Turkey show that everything can change within one night. Now, after the military coup attempt failed, Recep Erdogan is going to continue his course on renunciation of Mustafa Ataturk’s principles, constitutional alteration, unlawful seizure of plenary powers and real crackdown on the civil society in a more aggressive way than before.

Grigory Yavlinsky: “The government needs to be changed on a regular basis”
Grigory Yavlinsky’s answers to questions of the readers of Znak.com, 13.07.2016
Grigory Yavlinsky, YABLOKO founder and Chairman of its Federal Political Committee, participated in the presidential elections in Russia twice – in 1996 and 2000, respectively (in 2004 he boycotted the presidential campaign, due to the impossibility, in his opinion, to have free and fair elections, and in the presidential elections in 2012 the Central Electoral Commission withdrew the candidacy of Grigory Yavlinsky, from his point of view, for political reasons). Grigory Yavlinsky plans to run for President in 2018. The “dress rehearsal” will be certainly in the State Duma elections in September. YABLOKO included in its electoral list such prominent opposition figures as Vladimir Ryzhkov, Dmitry Gudkov, who are not YABLOKO members, and the party even counts to become “the basis of the democratic coalition.” Under what programme? Grigory Yavlinsky told us about this. Read more »
