On the situation in Russia and the prospects of the Party
Decision by the Federal Political Committee of Yabloko No. 152, dated 15 April, 2022
Published on 21 April, 2022

A great disaster on the scale of a national catastrophe, threatening the very existence of Russia, happened to our country.
An authoritarian government acting according to Bolshevik models plunged Russia into this disaster.
A fundamental misunderstanding of modern world realities and historical prospects led to an anti-European course, a senseless confrontation with the West and a claim to the right to arbitrarily limit the sovereignty of neighboгrs in the post-Soviet space. This course naturally led to a dead end.

On the causes of the national catastrophe
Decision by the Federal Political Committee of Yabloko No. 153, dated 15 April, 2022
Published on 21 April, 2022

The Political Committee of the Russian United Democratic Party Yabloko regards the events taking place since February 24 as the collapse of the post-Soviet Russian statehood.
What has happened resulted from the failure of post-Soviet modernisation. For 30 years, stable economic, political, and social institutions that are vital for a modern state, such as the separation of powers, an independent judiciary, transparent competitive elections providing the possibility of a change of power, inviolable private property, an economically independent media, have not been created.

On the priority steps to bring to an end the killing of people in the Russian-Ukrainian conflict
Decision by the Federal Political Committee of Yabloko No. 154, dated 15 April, 2022

The tragedy in Ukraine has been going on and even unfolding. No one now can and does not want to answer how many people have really died there. The UN data on the number of those killed can be underestimated at times, which is also recognised by the UN.
The situation is extremely dangerous. The development of events in the direction of further escalation threatens with new huge human casualties, as well as an increasingly likely big war up to a nuclear collision. This must not be allowed.

At the beginning of his speech at the 21st Party Congress, Yabloko Party Chairman Nikolai Rybakov drew the delegates’ attention to a printed replica of Pablo Picasso’s Guernica, which was placed on the wall instead of the traditional banner with Yabloko party symbols.
“Today’s fate of many cities in Ukraine – Mariupol and Chernihiv, the most ancient city of the ancient Kievan Rus state, repeats the fate of Guernica. Opening our congress, we must speak about all those who died in this massacre. Civilian and military, Ukrainians and Russians, children, women, men, young and old. Those who was bemauled, wounded, raped, became a refugee, who is now hiding from the shells in the basements. There are millions of them. We are their voice in Russia, of those who are dying and praying for peace,” Yabloko Chairman said.
