Grigory Yavlinski
is a liberal economist, one of the most popular
persons among Russian intellectuals.
At the Autumn 1995 Parliamentary elections, Mr. Yavlinski headed
the Federal list of the "Yabloko" electoral union.
During Russia's June 1996 presidential election, Mr. Yavlinski
was a candidate for the Presidency of Russia. He
gained more than 7 percent of the popular vote, placing him 4th
(in other words, he is 15 times more popular than M.Gorbachev).
Mr. Yavlinski (and the parliamentary faction "YABLOKO")
is the only democratic alternative in Russia which is recognized
by Russian population and has the necessary experience in politics.
Unfortunately, documents related to Mr. Yavlinski's political
activity are not easily available in Russia because Russian TV
and other mass-media are strongly biased toward the current
government and president. To rectify situation, this page collects
a variety of documents about Mr. Yavlinski's
views and about his life. Most documents are available only
in
Russian, koi8 encoding.
