Saint-Petersburg and the Leningrad region need to transfer from their competition to a single system of development of this metropolitan area and agree on common interests.

Congratulations, 20.05.2015
Congratulations from YABLOKO founder Grigory Yavlinsky
I congratulate Sergei Mitrokhin on his birthday! For Sergei politics means a definite person with his/her needs and interests. When protecting people he is always guided by principles and never goes against his conscience and law. Such a politician means a chance for any country. Let’s hope that his time – so that he could use all his talents – will come. Good luck, Sergei, wishing you strength and health!
Sincerely,
Grigory Yavlinsky
Congratulations from Oleg Orlov, Board member of the Memorial human rights centre
Dear Sergei,
Please receive my heartiest congratulations. Your way in politics is inseparably connected with protection of human rights. I am certain that democratic ideals and values which you and your team-mates are sharing will inevitably win over obscurantism in Russia. You are making this day closer by your indefatigable fight. I am wishing you energy, optimism and good luck.
Yours,
Oleg Orlov

About 20 per cent of people died in the first 18 months only since the deportation. Read more »

YABLOKO leader Sergei Mitrokhin: Five years of imprisonment for some people guilty of corruption amounting to billions of roubles and four years for a bruise at Maidan. Today a court in Simferopol, Crimea, sentenced Alexader Kostenko to 4 years and 2 months of imprisonment. The court considered it a proven fact that being at Maidan Kostenko had thrown a stone to a Berkut militiaman causing harm to the health (as a bruise) of the latter. A criminal case was raised in the Russian Federation without any grounds: the alleged crime had been made in Kiyv; neither the accused Kostenko, nor the ‘victim’ had been citizens of Russia. I consider this sentence a political one! The court of the higher instance must overturn this sentence.
