back in the spotlight. as the russian presidential election gets closer we talk to opposition politicians. about mass rallies that's an interview show spotlight next. hello again a welcome. i'm. a month before the presidential election russia has faced the first major opposition

rally in two thousand and twelve tens of thousands marched through the streets of moscow. calling for fair elections though some of them. back to the kremlin others say. they believe. while supporters are protesting against the protesters and the results may be unpredictable if the opposition wins as it is split and. so what. we're asking one of the leaders of the opposition. when the soviet union collapsed and new democratic forces came to power off was in the foreground of russian politics he represented the main program boris yeltsin and was first elected m.p. three five years later reached the top of his governmental career when he was

appointed deputy prime minister with a responsibility for social issues however a few days later saying it was not an area of expertise after spending fifteen years in parliament has become one of the most active opponents of the established power and has helped the protest rally. hello vladimir nice to have you here in the studio welcome welcome to spotlight well a you are one of the organizers and active participants of these recent recent rallies well they're called for fair elections well who are these protesters labeled as the angry citizens in the russian press and do you think that these people really can influence the kremlin today you know this this protest movement is where it wide. it includes as well politicians as well just regular citizens and i could say that

may mean maybe seventy percent of protesters are not. are not belong to political camps seventy percent of just regular old people from the streets and the main engine of these protests is i think two events first there weren't twenty fourth of september last year when putin and medvedev proclaimed that they will change. this combination and when they said that's all we agreed many years before so many people in russia been shocked by this by this announcement because too predictable predictable and people felt some people felt that they were deprived you know of making a choice it was a little bit cynical it was a little bit little bit a trick not politics is is very is a very cynical process and you know that maybe not maybe the reason is that people

in the west people in developed democracies know that it is cynical at the russians are not used to it yet do you agree as what they want to do is you know this is not one of them is the problem is that for last twenty years no one tion or power in russia was change of free elections it's always been like terrorist model. successor. you know when he appointed his successor the meeting with it is now the meeting with the points his successor predecessor put in so it's not all this is this is what mr circles one of the most you know i've been managed democracy. he called it the the sovereign democracy and the so this is the russian way so maybe twenty years ago or even fifteen years ago it was ok it was natural for natural way of making deals in russia but now it's different i could say that the main split the main change we hear the last ten years to twelve years

is that in russia was created as middle class so-called angry citizens. which is coming out to the streets and this is where the middle class in the middle where you are really the. middle class and even greece to do that it's about twenty five thirty percent of population and this angry middle class not accept more these brought czarist model was first result of this mess protests and second concrete reason for the results of the actions fourth of december you remember that first mass action was next tonight after the elections fifth of december then it was huge will open a square election of the then biggest action on the new twenty fourth of december and the man of reason for this mass protests the first if occasions especially in

moscow because in most example exit polls show it about this thread to say well he was all they wanted more transparency they want to be sure that the elections are fair though that there was a we should that they did so absolutely not into the law and they feel that they that they may have been deprived of their choice and they're absolutely well let's take a look at. at the most recent rallies in moscow which took place last saturday here's a report from spotlights to me that. despite temperatures of minus twenty celsius moscow st will be boiling with political activity on the fourth of february nothing seems to be able to cool down the heated political debates which have been building as the presidential election approaches for mastro is were held in russia's capital on saturday the two biggest one for and one against the government attracted tens of thousands the opposition marched for fair election in this third

rally of its kind since last december they have been protesting against alleged fraud in the state doing well action the ruling united russia party gained half the vote amid ballot riggin accusations which infuriated the crowd this time protesters called for free and democratic presidential election in less than a month meanwhile elsewhere in moscow was separate from the mantra was held the main slogan there was we have much to lose suggesting the country's current stability will be damaged if it is not real active participants said they were against the protest movement in the country right in their putin spoke to both sides in his new weekly pre-action article he sees the current political activity in the country as a good sign and an achievement of his years in power at the same time he admits the quality of the state is lagging behind civil society which has become more mature

active and responsible. so putin has. admitted that the government needs to catch up with the civil society right here as an out some political concessions but do you have the feeling that putin is ready to to go. further in liberalizing really the society the political life for unfortunate children or so you're a pessimist person is that because you know on billowed in a square and sarkar than you be a doctor five very simple demands to the authorities demand to free political prisoners we have now about forty people including khodorkovsky and libya in prisons on absolutely fabricated fabricated. number two we don't agree with the results of parliamentary elections and we don't see a real investigation on thousands investigating investigate alleged fraud number three

it's a wide demand of deep and complex political reforms registration of opposition parties . free elections a new formation of electoral issues because something is being done that will talk or we will talk a little later about your own party that that seeming to bite it was not really what it is not represented in until now it is not really something is happening got no job at least ok i am skeptical and i have reasons for that other demands he mentioned three demands yet number the number within that we need new parliamentary elections because this duma is not represent the whole population of the country especially especially population of big cities moscow sample does work you know it's an absolute when we have twenty five thirty percent of liberal mind people and no one representative in national parliament. and number and number five

is. number five is new presidential elections if common presidential elections will not be free in on this as well as the seller do so your main demand is is having is returning the choice that people feel they are deprived of remains remind your son. having tried litigants legal representation for four popular for all looking after the first after the other was what the realities everybody including your supporters had had an impression that putin has heard what what people have said in the streets but last weekend after after the kremlin held their rally at the same day and same time as the opposition rally wasn't that a sign that the kremlin is not ready for dialogue you know i think it's a bad signal it's a bad signal what is what and so there's no dialogue is not dialogue moreover

moreover i'm i'm i'm very very much concerned situation because i see escalation escalation of political temperature from both sides you can see that first action feels to rally in the same but was sure of head of electoral commission against for three years and now it's becoming more and more. movement from another side it's becoming more and more and to liberal. democratic modern movement so we can see that the russian society is split more and more an escalation that from both sides of the world is a good thing to be finished by confrontation not only between. people but between different parts of russians as i will be confrontation politics is always confrontation but i do believe normal politics it always does do you do you believe that there is a person in russia who could beat putin and they're coming elections. you know it

could it could be a clinician lost the ball look on the figures look on the figure so we have three pinion pole advances. and the difference is very big between the figure of most independent agents in the world the last figure is about forty two percent. and most loyal to see a warm. fifty fiftieth's or so difference is ten percent let's see if we were right it could be second tour and if we have the second round of elections anyone have anyone anyone could beat them could beat them porter says that in the risk of the opposition politicians here in russia spotlight will be back after a break so stay with us then.

but i. was struck by australia you know italian new zealand you know a bank you see them there among three if you want to have sex go and have sex. the . rushes would be soon which brightened if you knew about someone from funniest

impressions. for instance on t.v. dot com. welcome back to spotlight i am loving just to remind you that my guest on the show today is rushkoff an opposition politician here in russia vladimir let's get back to those rallies that we've been talking about the rallies that are demanding more transparency and more. rule of law as well but first of all they they most of the people say the elections in december was not transparent enough and they they want to guarantee that the presidential election the main election issue will be transparent ok now mainstream politicians many journalists. claim that these manifestations that we see here were masterminded by american experts colored

revolution than that and that they actually were organized by u.s. sponsored activists you're one of the activists so how do you react to that what well was there any ground for us to check your patients you know i could see the influence of the united states for on the russian policy i think it's a lowest follows the kids a bomb administration is very passive. they cut whole money supporting democracy all the wall they begin restart policy which is very. friendly reset reset very friendly for putin and it only idiots or propagandists could say the united states stay behind this process brought us the moment i can give you one example you know for organizing this millions men we need money to to to to order the scene this voice and source on all money

a little collected by the people thousands of people just sent money five hundred rubles one thousand rubles three hundred rubles on or on our special open foundation so we raised money for a lot through the internet are some of the through the internet we're raised money from regular people. to order all this all this machinery of this me or this is not you know one cent from this maybe forever of the accusations because because using the internet for organizing mass rallies is one of the technologies that is being claimed invented by the americans now not. in africa in russia we have very. restrictive legislation about that no one ruble from abroad could be used and it's very clear and it's very much under control of the state so it's a good example of this movement.
