Ilya Yashin @ilya_yashin, the head of the Krasnoselsky District municipal council, stopped by our office. We talked about what we needed to, and then I said to Yashin: come on, I’ll walk you to your car and grab a coffee on the way. We go outside, and Yashin gets on his bike. He’s entitled to an official car, but he reassigned it to a social taxi service, and now it transports disabled residents of his district for free. No wonder Putin and Sobyanin kept Yashin off the ballot that summer. A real extremist, undermining the very foundations of the regime.
