YABLOKO leader Sergei Mitrokhin claims that the murder of Boris Nemtsov is a challenge to the whole of the society and calls the authorities to capture those who committed and ordered the crime.
“It’s absolutely obvious that it wasn’t an accidental murder but a political one,” said YABLOKO leader to Interfax.
According to Mitrokhin, it should be essential for Russia’s authorities to capture those who committed and ordered the crime. “The challenge was tossed. Putin’s personal opponent was murdered,” said YABLOKO leader.
“It’s an act of political terror,” claim Sergei Mitrokhin.
“The case is not about the opposition only. The murder of Boris Nemtsov is a blow to the whole Russia’s society, to Russia’s federal status,” commented YABLOKO leader.

Russia’s place and role in the modern world is under the attack of the “collective West”, and not the political regime. Action needs to be taken now – otherwise it will soon prove impossible to stop the rollercoaster as it gathers momentum.
Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev declared recently that the current crisis had been caused in part by Russia’s decisions and the West’s reaction, but added that this was a “conscious choice”. What might this “choice” actually consist of and are the consequences really driven by conscious?

The anti-European movement, to the historically reverse side will not lead to the crisis but to crash
Anna Artemjeva / Novaya Gazeta
The position of Yabloko Party and its leader Grigory YAVLINSKY was always uncompromisingly pacifist. But today the matter of how to treat the war has crossed the line of just ethics and the politics itself. That is why the talk between the Economy Department editor of The Novaya Gazeta and the author of “500 days” was also about the war. And about how to rescue our country and from what to rescue it.

Sergei Mitrokhin’s blog, 04.02.2015
Picketing for freedom of Svetlana Davydova began at 14.00 outside the main office of the Federal Security Service at Lubyanka Square.
It started a little nervously. A capacious police van, PAZ brand, was parked next to the office.
Just as the participants of the action came out of the underground passage, several police officers immediately approached them and demanded a kind of “permission to film” when they saw a camera in the hands of our press service employee.
The policeman who required the “permission”refused to introduce himself or show his badge. He ran away from the camera lens. Others began to check the passports of the picketers taking pictures of the documents via mobile phones.
However, they didn’t check mine. I know that I appear on the electronic databases of all the law enforcement agencies.
