Ukraine have named their favorites in the Russian election campaign. In the Verkhovna Rada on the eve of a briefing was held, during which the deputies called on to vote for two parties and several individual candidates.
“We know that in Russia there are people who seek to attach your country to the European system of values. It is the Yabloko party and PARNAS. Vladimir Ryzhkov, Grigory Yavlinsky, Mikhail Kasyanov as true friends of Ukraine and Europe” — said on behalf of colleagues, the representative of the faction “popular front” Alexander Gorbunov.
He stressed that in Russia there are people who strive to live efficiently, democratically and freely. As an example, was named Vladimir Ryzhkov, in the merit of which was recorded in support of Ukrainian Maidan, the performance for “return of Crimea” and “against the occupation of Donbas by Russian troops”. He, recall, is a candidate from “the Apple”, because at the time, was expelled from Parnassus” (then the party called the RPR-Parnas).
“We call on all Russians to vote in the name of freedom and democracy, and I hope that thanks to such people the Revolution of Dignity will come to Russia, and we are together, side by side we will stand on your independence… These people appreciate the freedom of the citizen, and I want to build a state that won’t specify which gods to pray, who to respect and who to sleep”, — said the Deputy.
Participation in the briefing was attended by representatives of the faction “popular front” Oleksandr Kodola, Gennady Krivosheya, Oleksandr Drozdyk, Maxim Polyakov, Viktor Romanyuk, Alexander Gorbunov and the Deputy of the Samopomich party, Ruslan sydorovych.
Probably there is certain symbolism in the fact that the two Russian liberal parties support the representatives of the organization, which in Ukraine fluctuates around one percent.
“People’s front” is ex-Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk, speaker of the Verkhovna Rada Andriy Parubiy, interior Minister Arsen Avakov, NSDC Secretary Oleksandr Turchynov, etc.
Need I remind you that men are all as on selection, very aggressive, not stopping the struggle “with Russian aggression,” even during sleep? Yes, “Apple” “Parnassus” did not have such support…
In General, it should be noted that in Ukraine there is some kind of activity in search of “friends” in our country, the nature of which is not entirely clear. It is clear that talking about “friends” in the understanding of the current Kiev authorities.
And judging by the already list of a “social movement “Modern Ukraine”, those were hardly more than two dozen: Mikhail Khodorkovsky, Vladimir Ryzhkov, Grigory Yavlinsky, Mikhail Kasyanov, Garry Kasparov, Andrey Makarevich, Yuri Shevchuk, Boris Akunin, Dmitry and Gennady Gudkov, Ilya Ponomarev, Oleg Kashin, Alexei Navalny, Ksenia Sobchak and Artemy Troitsky, Mikhail Kozyrev, Ilya Yashin, Liya Akhedzhakova, Viktor Shenderovich, Alexander Nevzorov, Dmitry Oreshkin, Matvey Ganapolsky, Eugene Chirikov, Konstantin Borovoy.
“Despite the openly aggressive policy of Russia, among many public figures, politicians, artists and journalists of the aggressor are the real friends of Ukraine”, — stated in the annotation.
However, some of these entities in Russia does not live, but that did not stop to write them in a list. The value of which, by the way, for Ukraine and for the people it names, is equivocal.
Any response to the appeal of the deputies of the Verkhovna Rada from their Russian recipients are not followed.
Grigory Yavlinsky, and Mikhail Kasyanov interested in the causes and consequences of the attempted coup in Turkey.
The leader of the “Parnassus” and spoke about the allegations by WADA in Russia. In the “Apple” while the opinion is not formulated.
So chances are, the call of the Ukrainian colleagues “to build a state, which does not indicate with whom to sleep” in both parties to not comment will be. That, of course, it would be wise.
