On
the closure of the NTV correspondents' office in Belarus
Statement, The Russian Democratic Party YABLOKO, July 8, 2003
The closure of the NTV television company correspondents'
office in Belarus represents not only an action targeted at information
isolation of the people of Belarus, but also another challenge to Russia
from Lukashenko's regime.
Open Letter, January 16, 2003
Most respected Mr. President,
We are concerned about developments in the Republic of Belarus concerning Russian media. Broadcasts of Mayak (Ed. "Beacon"), Yunost (Ed. "Youth"), and Golos Rossii (Ed. "Voice of Russia") that have for many years constituted a key source of information for the citizens of Belarus, have been closed.

RosBusinessConsulting,
September 10, 2001
The victory of Alexander Lukashenko results from his
policies of duping the people. This is the opinion
of the First Deputy Head of the Yabloko faction in
the State Duma Sergei Ivanenko, expressed in an interview
with RBC on the results of the presidential elections
in Belarus on September 9, 2001.
Building on Stones Rather than Sand
The union between Russia and Byelorussia, Yabloko's
position.
By Sergei Mitrokhin, Deputy of
the State Duma of the Yabloko faction, Deputy Chairman
of the Committee for Local Self-Government,
November 17, 1999
Yabloko has consistently advocated
a union between Russia and Byelorussia. At the same
time we have our differences with other political
parties (the CPRF, "Our Home is Russia"
and others) over the form and strategy of the integration
of Russia and Byelorussia.
Union without Dictator
By Alexey Melnikov, Vyedomosty,
November 2 1999
Yabloko advocates the integration
of Russia and Byelarus, provided that the statehood
and constitution of each of the two countries involved
are preserved, that neither fraternal nation incurs
any economic loss and human rights are constantly
observed, pursuant to universally recognized principles
and norms.
Interview of Grigory Yavlinsky for
the "Zerkalo" (Mirror) TV Programme
RTR channel, Interviewer -Nikolai
Svanidzye, October
24, 1999
Yavlinsky: You have already answered
that question. Next day he agreed to meet and it is
right that he agreed. I can understand Primakov's
emotions in this situation with the President and
people who work with the President, but a prominent
politician must meet with the President. If he is
critical or disagrees with the President, he must
say so directly.
