 Grigory
Yavlinsky: Putin is Dangerous for Russia
Corriere della Serra, by Renzo
Cianfanelli, March 24, 2000
The presidential election campaign in
Russia is coming to an end. Compared to the presidential
election campaign in 1996 which ended with the election
of Boris Yeltsin as President of the country, and
to the exceedingly aggressive and "dirty" State Duma
electoral campaign, the competition between the 11
candidates (the 12th candidate, Evgeni Savostyanov,
a long-standing liberal, decided not to run and called
on his electorate to vote for the reformer Grigory
Yavlinsky), it looks as if this campaign will finish
emotionlessly - with a more than probable victory
for Vladimir Putin.

The Moscow Times, March 22, 2000
The voters have known Grigory Yavlinsky
for a decade, but certain crucial facts about the
Yabloko leader are only being revealed to them now.
Few knew, for instance, that his wife
had to help him tie his tie every morning. Or about
his aversion to frankfurters (a result of eating
too many in his student days, says his wife).
Russia:
Yavlinsky -- 'The Eternal Alternative' Loses Support
By Sophie Lambroschini, Radio
Liberty, March 21, 2000
For the past several years, Grigory
Yavlinsky has been the leader of Russia's reformist,
pro-democracy and anti-Kremlin opposition. In this
Sunday's election, his political future may be at
stake: polls show voter support for him this year
to be only around 5 percent. RFE/RL correspondent
Sophie Lambroschini profiles Yavlinsky.
Briefing
of Grigory Yavlinsky after a meeting with his authorised
representatives
Kolloniy Zal Doma Soiyzov, Moscow, March 3,
2000
Grigory Yavlinsky: I would like to stress that
today the other resolutions [of the Chechen problem]
that we witness in Russia are based on violence,
rather than negotiations. This is demonstrated not
only in the Northern Caucasus: it can be easily
seen even in the State Duma, when the Kremlin and
its allies, the communists, decide the key issues
behind the formation of the structure of the State
Duma for the long term.
