Report by Grigory Yavlinsky
Forum 2000, Prague, September 16, 2013
It’s a great pleasure to be here and I’m very thankful for the invitation to see you and to speak to you. I would start with some quoting of Mikhail Gorbachev. He was asked once by Margaret Thatcher “What about transition in Russia?” And he responded that if “to say it in one word then it is good”, but if “to say it in many words – no good”. I think it is a detailed explanation of what has been going on, because there is a very big number of risks and it is absolutely not clear where the transition has been heading. It is the reality. But this reality is rooted as it was mentioned just now not only in historical roots in Russia, and historical cycles and different historical explanations, but from my point of view it is much more rooted in the way how the reforms were realized in Russia. And I want to present you my report specially prepared for this Forum covering some lessons of the Russian reform, because it was a large-scope reform, some lessons that must be very useful, from my point of view, for other reforms of a different kind almost in any country which we should examine in terms of risks of transition.

Statement by the Regional Council of the Moscow branch of YABLOKO, 18/09/2013
At present most of Muscovites do not have their representative in the Moscow City Duma. The Moscow City Duma elected in 2009 consists of 35 members representing two political parties only (the ruling United Russia has 32 deputies and the Communist Party has 3 deputies). Such a number of MPs and the structure of the Moscow City Duma do not reflect the present political spectrum in Moscow. Also the norm of representation, i.e. the correlation between the number of MPs and the number of voters is lower than in most of Russia’s regions. Read more »
