Yashin: “The party will not just engage in education, but will set the task of taking power in Russia” | Argument

The first day of the founding congress of Peaceful Russia has ended in Berlin.

Politician Ilya Yashin has become the chairman of the democratic opposition party, a Dododa journalist reports from the scene.

“Our task is to restore hope to people. I urge you to create a party that will not just educate, not just preach, but will set the task of taking power in Russia. I urge you to create a party that will provide Russia with peace, freedom, a fair social order, good neighborly relations with other countries, respect for human dignity and human rights.

We are creating a party that will play a big, important role in the future of Russia - in the changes that are undoubtedly coming, because any dictatorship ends sooner or later.

You and I are people who sincerely love our country and, most importantly, are ready to take responsibility for our country and its future. We are the peaceful forces of Russia,” said Ilya Yashin as a welcoming speech.
