Today is the birthday of Yevgeny Vitishko.
If our country was headed by a true patriot, he would have definitely awarded Yevgeny Vitishko with the ‘Hero of Russia’ Star. However, then Vitishko would not have been in a penal colony, and thus part of his heroic deed would not have been done.

This would allow to provide residential housing to 14 million families and create 2 million jobs.) Read more »

Press Release, 24.06.2014
St.Petersburg YABLOKO will discuss nomination of the party candidate to run in the gubernatorial elections in St. Petersburg at the meeting of the federal Bureau of the Party at the end of the week. Such a statement was made by Grigory Yavlinsky, leader of the YABLOKO faction in St.Petersburg Legislative Assembly, at the final press conference in the Interfax North-West Press Centre before summer vacations in the city parliament. He noted that the situation with a “municipal” filter which candidates have to overcome to run in the election was manifestation of arbitrary rule depriving the election of any competition. All the candidates have to gather 5 – 10 per cent of municipal deputies’ votes in 75 per cent of all the municipalities so that to be registered in the race. This filter virtually deprives oppositional candidates of any chances to run giving all the opportunities to the ruling United Russia party. According to Yavlinsky elections would turn illegitimate, if such a famous politician as Oksana Dmitriyeva could not run. Read more »
