I get a ton of regional "Yabloko" mailings. Another one just came in. An absolute pleasure to read: "Tomorrow, on the first calendar day of spring, a preliminary hearing will be held in the case of the illegal dismissal of pregnant Irina Nosova from Terminator Advertising Agency LLC. Negotiations between Irina Nosova and Terminator, mediated by Sverdlovsk YABLOKO (the regional branch of the liberal Russian political party), with the aim of resolving the issue out of court, led only to the management of the said advertising firm issuing a written threat to sue YABLOKO for 'defamation.'" I can just imagine what negotiations with the Terminator mediated by YABLOKO might look like: - Sarah Connor? - Yes. Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Grigory Yavlinsky will be back.
