Chairman of the Yabloko Association Grigory Yavlinsky considers the
inter-departmental instruction of the Federal Security Service of the
Russian
Federation to review anonymous applications from citizens and
potentially launch
investigations on them as “sheer arbitrary rule placing the greatest
possible pressure
on citizens.” Such a declaration was made by Yavlinsky at a press
conference on
February 21, 2001.
“This is a very unpleasant move in its very nature, even though it
takes place in
many countries,” said Yavlinsky. He added that this would be an even
more dangerous
tool in Russia, “as with its aid simply everything will become subject to
manipulation.” Yavlinsky
thinks that “it is highly unlikely that this would mark a return to
Stalin’s repressions,
however, this innovation may have an adverse impact on the people.”
