Mitrokhin: *However, commenting on Navalny’s accusations that the party was “pushing out everyone who cares about the truth,” the deputy chairman of Yabloko added: “if Navalny believes the elections were fair and transparent, then he is probably a Kremlin agent promoting the Surkov–Churov ideology.” *source In half an hour, the Bureau will begin. A funny detail: several journalists asked me to take them with me to the meeting. Yesterday I called Misnik, the Party chief of staff (a good guy, by the way): Me: - Is the Bureau open? M.: - Yes, it’s open. Me: - Then I’ll bring a few journalists with me. Do they need accreditation? M.: - Uhhh... I can’t say, I need to check with Yavlinsky whether journalists can be allowed in. Today at 10 a.m. he calls me: M.: - No. A decision has been made: no journalists. Me: - Why? I thought the Bureau was open? M.: - A decision has been made to hold it as an internal party discussion. P.S. I’ve become a “thousandon” (LiveJournal slang for a blogger with over 1,000 followers). So now I can sit on the LiveJournal jury for the DaDebates.
