Николай Рыбаков: «Не прийти на выборы — значит согласиться». Почему «Яблоко» снова идёт на выборы?

Is there any point in participating in elections if many believe the outcome is a foregone conclusion? In this new episode, Yabloko party leader Nikolai Rybakov answers questions millions of Russians are asking today. Why is the party's platform only 43 words long? Why is Yabloko running again despite the arrests of its politicians and the pressure on the party? Is it possible to stop the war through political means? And what does refusing to participate in the elections mean? The conversation was incredibly frank. The studio discussed public responsibility, political repression, the atmosphere of fear, the fate of political prisoners, the memory of the Great Terror, and the need for an honest conversation about the past. In this episode: • Why Yabloko's platform only 43 words long; • Why Rybakov considers ending the SVO to be the most important issue; • Is there any point in participating in elections today; • How to respond to those who are convinced that elections change nothing; • Why are there more and more young people in the party; • How elections are conducted under state pressure • Why dozens of party members ended up in prisons and pretrial detention centers; • Society's responsibility for what is happening; • Why we need to remember the names of the victims and executioners of Stalin's repressions; • Why we can't change the future without talking about the past. ⸻ ❤️ Support independent journalism, it helps us continue our work. 💳 One-time donation: ▪ 1000 ₽ — https://u.to/t37nIQ 🔁 Monthly support: ▪ 300 ₽ — https://u.to/-H7nIQ ▪ 500 ₽ — https://u.to/MX-nIQ ▪ 1000 ₽ — https://u.to/aX-nIQ ⸻ 🛍 Our merch: https://bookmerchshop.ru https://ozon.ru/t/bepddwW ⸻ 📰 Read Novaya Gazeta articles: https://novayagazeta.ru ⸻ 📲 YouTube is slowing down — subscribe to our video channel Telegram: http://t.me/nomediarussia ⸻ 📩 For advertising and partnership inquiries: [email protected] ⸻ 🎙 The YouTube channel "NO.Media from Russia" is a project by independent journalists who continue to work in Moscow. *Recognized as a foreign agent by the Russian Ministry of Justice
