The Green Russia is stolen from YABLOKO
Press Release, November 14, 2013
YABLOKO objects to the use of its second name “The Green Russia” as a name for the government’s environmental movement. The founding congress of this organisation will take place at the Russian Industrial and Environmental Forum ROSPROMECO on November 14.
The announcement runs that the all-Russian movement will be founded as a result of the clean up called “The Green Russia” which took place on August 31, 2013, in support of Vladimir Putin’s initiative to call the year 2013 a Year of environmental protection.
“YABLOKO – The Green Russia” is one of YABLOKO’s full equivalent names. The State Accreditation Certificate proves it. The borrowing of the party’s name is the violation of the law.
Deputy of the State Duma Anatoly Karpov is the founder of the future government’s environmental organisation.
“I do respect Anatoly Karpov, but the authorities try to use him by replacing the real environmental protection forces with simulation”, said YABLOKO leader Sergei Mitrokhin.
Sergei Mitrokhin also sent an official letter to the head of the new environmental movement with the demand not to allow plagiarism in the name of the organisation.
According to “Parlamentskaya Gazeta”, the forum will be opened by President Vladimir Putin and the Federation Council Speaker Valentina Matviyenko.
