Teenage coup
The recent head of the “defense” sees the reasons for his failure in a long -standing conflict with the former co -owner of the Yukos NK Leonid Nevznlin, now hiding in Israel from the Russian prosecutor's office. Recall that last spring, the oil magnate called the leader of the young democrats "very promising" and publicly expressed his readiness to provide him with financial assistance. Then Yashin publicly rejected the proposal of the businessman, explaining that he was against the "oligarchic system of the 90s, as well as against the current Putin regime."
Leonid Nevzlin, the ex-leader of the “defense” believes, did not forget this statement. “His people, unable to agree with the leadership of the movement, are trying to simply seize the“ defense, ”one of the members of the Constitutional Court told the newspaper.
Nevertheless, Yashin’s opponents could not form a simple majority in the CS. Members of the ATP of Malyshev and Kozlovsky have already managed to be noted in the internal scandals of their own party. Both of them actively supported the member of the Political Council of the ATP Ivan Starikov, throughout the past year, the right -wing leaders who were constantly criticized for the “slurred attitude towards the Kremlin”. Soon, Starikov left the ATP and formed a political alliance with Mikhail Kasyanov and Irina Khakamada, after he headed the election headquarters of another disgraced co -owner of Yukos Mikhail Khodorkovsky. Recall that Leonid Nevzlin openly openly promised to support Kasyanov’s future presidential campaign.
Malysheva and Kozlovsky received a party reprimand for the support of Starikov in the ATP. "In fact, it was this group that worked for the" defense "to go to the oligarchs and turn into a combat detachment for the Kasyanovsky bloc," Ilya Yashin believes.
Opponents of the recent defense leader are perplexed. “The theory of the conspiracy put forward by Yashin is complete stupidity,” Malysheva noted in an interview with the “newspaper”.
Yashin, for his part, tried to disavow the re -election of the KS. On Sunday, the members of the newly elected KS have been a decision on the organization’s self -selected organization. New elections are scheduled for February 12. Thus, one of the most famous youth democratic organizations as a result of internal squabbles actually turned out to be thrown out of political activity for a whole month.
Both sides of the conflict, understanding the danger of the collapse of the organization, are trying to find the way to reconciliation. “We will agree on how to coexist further. But the non -control of the“ defense ”of ex -Oligarham remains our key task,” Yashin is sure.
