The Chelyabinsk Public Prosecutor’s Office, in a response letter to the leader of the Chelyabinsk Yabloko Yaroslav Shcherbakov, admitted that the gravestones in the cemetery were destroyed, there were no stars on the tombstones, and the burial fence was broken. In addition, there is decommissioned military equipment by the monument to grieving mothers devoted to the victims of the Second World War, which is prohibited by order of the State Committee for the Protection of Cultural Heritage Objects. In connection with the identified violations, the Chelyabinsk Public Prosecutor’s Office issued an action to the Mayor’s Office about the improper maintenance of the Fraternal Cemetery of Soldiers. Earlier, Yaroslav Shcherbakov reported that the memorial at Lesnoye Cemetery, an important place for Chelyabinsk residents, had been under conservation for four years, and access to it was closed even on Victory Day, 9 May.
The Yabloko party expresses its sincere condolences to the families and friends of those killed in the terrorist attack in Dagestan, including Orthodox Archpriest Nikolai Kotelnikov, who worked there for more than 40 years, civilians and a large number of law enforcement officers. May their memory live forever! We wish a speedy recovery to the wounded.
A lecture dedicated to the 150th anniversary of the birth of the philosopher and sociologist Nikolai Berdyaev was held at Yabloko. The lecture was given by Anastasia Gacheva, a leading researcher at the Gorgy Institute of World Literature of the Academy of Sciences and Moscow Higher School of Social and Economic Sciences.
Delegates to the conference of the St. Petersburg branch of Yabloko, which took place on the evening of 24 June, nominated 70 candidates for 17 municipalities of St. Petersburg. On 28 June, the regional branch plans to nominate more candidates who have expressed their desire to run for Yabloko in recent days.

Past week, the regional branch of the Yabloko party in Yakutia held a conference of the party branch, and elected governing bodies of the regional branch for the next two years. Anatoly Nogovitsyn was re-elected Chairman of the branch.
On the night of 21-22 June, when 83 years ago Hitler invaded the USSR, Nikolai Rybakov, Grigory Yavlinsky and other party members lit candles and laid flowers at the Requiem 1941 monument in the centre of Moscow. This is a traditional Yabloko’s anti-war action that has been taking place for many years already.

St. Petersburg branch of Yabloko nominated Olga Yurkevich, a candidate of medical sciences, a doctor of the highest category and pediatric anesthesiologist, a candidate for deputy of the Legislative Assembly of St. Petersburg in the coming by-elections in constituency No 18 of St.Petersburg. Members of the Bureau of the regional branch of the party unanimously voted for the nomination of Olga Yurkevich.
24 Yabloko candidates for the Moscow City Duma are campaigning under the slogan “For Peace and Freedom! For the Ceasefire Agreement!” Each candidate must collect signatures from Muscovites in his/her support so that to be registered in the race.
UPD: We have to cancel our traditional “1418 Candles Per Each Day of War” action, since access to the “1941” memorial plaque, where we usually gather, will be limited due to preparations for the opening of the “Candle of Memory” campaign organised by the authorities.
Yabloko will light 1418 candles to commemorate the victims of the Second World War on the eve of Adolf Hitler’s invasion of the Soviet Union, 21 June.
Yabloko will once again host the actions of writing letters to Russian political prisoners. The number of political prisoners in Russia is growing every week. It is important for those unjustly imprisoned to know that they are not forgotten.
Yabloko has announced the collection of guarantees for our colleague from St. Petersburg Vasily Neustroyev, who is kept in a pre-trial detention centre on charges of crimes that he did not commit. Yabloko offices in Moscow, St. Petersburg and Pskov are collecting personal guarantees for Vasily. Personal guarantee is one of the preventive measures that is not related to imprisonment. The guarantor who signed the paper guarantees that the accused will comply with the obligations imposed on him and will not hide from the investigation, and the court.
The European Court of Human Rights ruled that the Russian Federation violated the rights of Gulnaz Ravilova when considering her administrative violation case. The decision was published today.
Statement by the Yabloko party Chairman, 17.06.2024

The Yabloko party stands for the immediate conclusion of a ceasefire agreement without preconditions.
Neither the resolution of the summit in Switzerland, nor Vladimir Putin’s statements at the meeting with the leadership of the Foreign Ministry answer the most important question: when people, including civilians, will not be killed anymore.
This means that the bloodshed will continue and there will be new victims.
The Yabloko party has completed collecting books for the library of the village of Kriusha in the Ryazan region. In just two weeks of the campaign, over 500 books were collected. The books will soon be delivered to the library.
On 15 June, the Kemerovo regional branch of the Yabloko party held a Conference on the election of governing bodies. The conference was attended by nine delegates from the cities of region: Kemerovo, Novokuznetsk and Topka.
Resolution by the Federal Bureau of Yabloko adopted on 14.06.2024, published on 15.06.2024
Local and regional elections will be held in our country on 8 September, 2024. Citizens who do not agree with what has been happening in the country should have the opportunity to vote in these elections for an alternative and get their representatives in governments.
A peace treaty was signed 105 years ago in June 1919 in Versailles, a Parisian suburb, marking the end of World War I. However, the Treaty of Versailles only delivered peace to Europe for a brief moment, before setting the wheels in motion for the start of the even more destructive and bloody World War II. Why did this happen and what lessons must we draw today from events that happened more than a century ago?
On 12 June, a conference of the Chelyabinsk regional branch of the Yabloko party nominated Yaroslav Shcherbakov as a candidate for the post of Governor of the Chelyabinsk region.
On 12 June, the General Assembly of the Kaliningrad branch of the Yabloko party nominated lawyer Roman Morozov as a candidate for the post of Governor of the Kaliningrad region. Morozov’s candidacy had been previously approved by the presidium of the Federal Bureau of the party.
The Moscow branch of Yabloko nominated candidates for the elections of Moscow City Duma deputies that will take place on 8 September. The list consists of 24 people. This decision was made at the Conference of the Moscow branch of the party on 12 June. All candidates will conduct an election campaign under the slogan “For Peace and Freedom! For the ceasefire agreement!”
