Here is the opinion of party colleagues: “Alexey Vladimirovich, famous for his democratic (in the best sense of this word) views, a person with an unblemished reputation, having never bowed his head before the powerful of this world, one of the few who has been in power and has come out of it of his own free will with exactly what he had going in (in the sense of regalia, finances, real estate). He became involved in party-building, by his words, out of desperation. He simply could not do otherwise.“ Photo: Alexey Vladimirovich Yablokov, one of the leading lights of the Russian environmental movement (photo by Grigory Pasko)
