Sergei Mitrokhin: "Prokhorov's Drum"
“During this time, small business was completely crushed - by ever-increasing corruption on the one hand and the dominance of big business on the other.
The only serious federal program to help small businesses—the right to buy out leased premises—was completely blocked in Moscow by the Department of “Support” for Small Businesses. For this, in 2008, YABLOKO, together with the movement “For a Fair Market,” held a picket for Vyshegorodtsev’s resignation.
An example from 2007. Then the premises of dozens of small enterprises were sold to the Seventh Continent trading network of another oligarch and United Russia functionary, Vladimir Gruzdev. Hundreds of small businesses and thousands of their workers were thrown onto the streets."
