Yabloko thanks the voters who voted for our [candidates] list and our candidates in single-mandate constituencies in the elections to the Legislative Assembly of St. Petersburg.
We appreciate your stance very much and we are certain that Yabloko received many more votes than was officially announced.
Despite the fact that due to violations and falsifications, Yabloko received fewer mandates than it should have received with your support, the Yabloko deputies in the Legislative Assembly will represent and protect your interests.

An article on Ukraine published by Vladimir Putin in July was completed yesterday by Dmitry Medvedev. If someone could still doubt the intentions, now everything has become obvious: Russia is moving towards war.
There is no point in discussing either the form or the content of what has been published under the signature of the former President of Russia, and now the Deputy Chairman of the Security Council of the Russian Federation. It is clear that rude xenophobic and chauvinistic statements against a neighbouring sovereign state are nothing more than a provocation.

Dmitry Muratov received the Nobel Peace Prize as one of the last defenders of free speech in Russia. The last, not in the sense that defenders of freedom of speech in Russia will end on him, but that he is one of the last people who personally launched freedom of speech after the collapse of the USSR and who has been maintaining its level for all these 30 years.

Not many people know about the contribution of Dmitry Muratov [to protection of freedom of speech] in our country. But now they will learn about it – and not only in Russia, but all over the world. The Editor-in-Chief of Novaya Gazeta was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. Muratov became the third recipient of this award in our country after Acad. Andrei Sakharov and Mikhail Gorbachev. And this is fair.

On 25 September, the Regional Council of the Novgorod branch of Yabloko adopted a statement on non-recognition of the elections to the Novgorod Regional Duma as free, democratic and fair.
“The Novgorod regional branch of the Yabloko Party does not recognise the results of the elections to the Novgorod Regional Duma, since they were achieved in the course of an non-free and unequal election campaign, as well as in connection with gross violations of the law on voting days, which led to a significant distortion of the expression of voters’ will. Like five years ago, they stole the representation of our voters in the Novgorod Regional Duma.

The Chelyabinsk Yabloko still goes on processing the data. For each fact of falsification, the Chelyabinsk branch of Yabloko will seek filing of criminal cases and the annulment of the results.
