		Moscow is the heart of Russia and pumps vital juices to the rest of the nation.
		Many felt that if Yabloko couldn’t garner 10% of the vote, there was no political future for the party.
		Yabloko’s poor showing was “because so many voters chose to stay at home” rather than because they have no constituency.

	Russia, Politics, Yabloko
		Yabloko sympathizers are concerned that the political association has become almost unseen and unheard either on the popular television channels or in the high-circulation press.
		Yabloko can and should occupy the currently vacant left flank of the political spectrum that is provisionally occupied by a CPRF that is busy with pulp fear-mongering.
		The most important and substantial differences between Yabloko and the SPS are their different assessments of the relationship between the state and the citizen.

		Following Yabloko's rejection of Nemtsov's plan, SPS representatives have been in a somber mood, suggesting that this was the final effort to bring the two parties together and hinting that even cooperation in the single-mandate districts is no longer a foregone conclusion.
		One Yabloko faction deputy suggested last year that few voters are ready to vote for a united party: "There are those who cannot forgive Gaidar for losing all their savings and cannot forgive the leaders of SPS for their support of the Chechen war.
		It was, however, noticeable that Yabloko's Ivanenko, rather than Yavlinskii, handled the media coverage on the matter, possibly in an attempt to refute the perennial accusations that it is the Yabloko leader's lack of ability to cooperate with others that has stood in the way of a union of the parties.

	The St. Petersburg Times - News - Yabloko Finds Itself at Crossroad
		Yabloko, which worked closely with the Communists to challenge alleged fraud in the Duma elections, is looking to team up with any political party that opposes the Kremlin's course "except for fascist parties," Mitrokhin said.
		The big question is whether Yabloko will be able to drum up enough support from a public that is spoon-fed the Kremlin line on state television and is naturally wary of politicians, especially a party that for years has run on a platform of civil freedoms.
		Yabloko's voice is all but lost since the party gets no airtime on the main television channels, which are under the Kremlin's control, said Vladimir Pribylovsky, head of the Panorama think tank.

		Yabloko opposed President Boris Yeltsin's shelling of the parliament in October 1993 and the passage of a constitution weighted toward presidential power, while leaders who eventually formed the SPS in 1999 supported Yeltsin.
		Yabloko leaders blasted the "shock-therapy" policies of 1992 and what they called the "criminal privatization" of the mid-1990s, while the architects of those economic policies were among the SPS "founding fathers" and continue to serve on its Political Council.
		Yabloko leaders were willing to let an SPS member lead the list, but insisted that it be someone from the Moscow legislature.

		In 2003, Yabloko again failed to clear the 5 percent barrier and was shut out of the state Duma. In an attempt to prepare for the 2007 Duma elections, Yabloko submitted a joint list with the Union of Right Forces (SPS) for Moscow City Duma elections in December 2005.
		Yabloko, for the most part, is a party of urban voters.
		As compared to rural and mixed territories, the "city" vote secured by Yabloko in the 1995 elections was 2.5 times higher, with Grigory Yavlinsky gaining in cities nearly twice as many votes as in rural areas in the 1996 presidential elections.

		In the next vote, Yabloko can expect to capture most ol this vote, since the several smaller parties that won small portions of this vote in 1995 are unlikely to be on the ballot again.
		Yabloko and Yavlinsky do not strike the authoritative pose that voters like to see in their executives.
		Yabloko may be relegated to the role of the parliamentary opposition for some time to come, but the very existence of a loyal opposition may be more important to the long-term consolidation of Russia's nascent democracy than winning the next presidential election.

	Engineer Alexander Shishlov
		The Russian Democratic Party YABLOKO supported the nation-wide action of the trade unions of budget-sector workers against government plans to reform wages for budget workers.
		Member of the YABLOKO party Alexander Shishlov headed the State Duma Committee for Education and Science in April 2002.
		At the time his appointment provoked varying reactions (some people held that this was almost an attack on education), but now we can state for sure: Alexander Vladimirovich is as worthy an advocate of the interests of the sector, as his predecessor Ivan Melnikov.

		The move appeared to acknowledge that Yabloko supporters have no place else to turn but to Yeltsin in the July 3 runoff election, but sought answers from the president on his policy in Chechnya, his constitutional powers and replacements for hardliners sacked last week.
		The national Yabloko party's potential support for the president, according to the resolution adopted at the congress, depends on how satisfactorily Yeltsin answers five questions posed to him in an open letter from party leader Grigory Yavlinsky.
		Yabloko also wanted to know who would be in Yeltsin's government in the event of his re-election and demanded changes in the government's socio-economic policies.

		Yabloko is most committed to fighting inflation, while the three other major parties continue to promote looser monetary policy.
		In contrast, in 1999 all parties agree that a priority of economic reform must be reduction of the tax burden, streamlining of the tax collection system, and a shift of the tax burden away from the producer to the consumer.
		As in 1995, Yabloko is the most market-oriented and realistic in terms of its position on state intervention.

		Yabloko's head, Grigory Yavlinsky, said earlier that his party was ready to render SPS the second and the third places on their party list.
		Although Yabloko and SPS have a similar liberal and democratic ideology, in the past the two parties were unable to find common ground that would allow them to unify their efforts.
		Both Yabloko and SPS took part in the parliamentary elections on December 7, 2003 but failed to pass the 5% threshold required to enter the Duma.

		For years, Yabloko has polled between 5% and 10% of the electorate, and hasn't made a serious threat to the powers-that-be since the 1996 presidential election, when Yeltsin was so unpopular that a candidate receiving 8% of the ballot could have been a kingmaker.
		For the last four years, Yabloko has been heavily subsidized by the so-called Russian "oligarchs," less because of their pro-business philosophy than the immunity that a seat on the party ticket would buy an imperiled crook.
		Unlike Yabloko, which panders to the dandyism of their founder, the SPS is a grim, strait-laced party of big business, which in Russia is synonymous with the oligarchs.

		Political experts say Yabloko and the Union of Right Forces could each fail to capture 5 percent of the vote -- the threshold needed to function as a party in the lower house of parliament, the State Duma.
		Yabloko and the Union of Right Forces head into the election with just 49 lawmakers in the 450-seat Duma.
		The competition between Yabloko and the Union of Right Forces parties dilutes their influence on the many issues on which they agree, including human rights, press freedom and an end to the war in Chechnya.

		All Yabloko's words to the effect that it cannot rely on the URF - because the latter may decide in Putin's favor again - are only maneuvering.
