On September 29-30, 2023, an international forum titled "Resisting War and Defending Lasting Peace in Europe" is taking place in Paris.00:00:07
Its participants include European officials, deputies, public figures, and journalists, as well as representatives of the Russian emigration.00:00:13
Ilya Yashin sent a message to the forum from his Moscow prison.00:00:17
My name is Ilya Yashin,
I'm a Russian opposition00:00:20
politician.00:00:21
Unfortunately, I can't address
you from the forum's podium00:00:24
as I've been in prison
since last summer for publicly00:00:26
speaking out against Putin's
troops' invasion of Ukraine.00:00:31
The authorities decided
to silence me,00:00:33
sentencing me to eight
and a half years in prison,00:00:36
but I refuse to remain silent.00:00:37
I want my voice - the voice of
a Russian patriot00:00:40
opposing war and
dictatorship - to be heard.00:00:43
It's crucial for me to be able
to speak honestly00:00:46
with my fellow countrymen,
even from behind bars.00:00:49
But I also understand the importance
of dialogue with the world,00:00:53
so I'm grateful to the forum's
organizers for the opportunity00:00:56
to address you.00:00:57
The attack on Ukraine
was possible for several00:01:00
reasons.00:01:01
First and foremost, it's
the responsibility of Russians,00:01:04
including myself, as a representative
of the Russian people.00:01:06
Sadly, we allowed a revanchist
dictatorship to form00:01:09
in our country and failed
to create effective mechanisms00:01:12
for public control over
the government and security forces.00:01:16
As the saying goes, we
sacrificed freedom for order00:01:19
and prosperity, but in the end,
we lost freedom, order,00:01:22
and prosperity.00:01:24
Now, we've earned the
reputation of occupiers.00:01:27
We'll be paying for these
mistakes for a very long time.00:01:29
However, I also want to remind
you of the international00:01:35
community's responsibility,
which for many years appeased00:01:37
the Putin regime and00:01:40
thus repeated
a historical mistake that 00:01:44
once propelled Europe into
World War II.00:01:47
For two decades, Putin
got away with everything00:01:49
usurpation of power, corruption,
destruction of the opposition,00:01:54
political assassinations,
military interventions, and00:01:57
annexation of foreign territories.00:01:58
"Merkel and Putin's duet
in Moscow was a success"00:02:01
this was the headline of a Deutsche
Welle article on November 16, 2012,00:02:06
half a year after the brutal
dispersal of a rally in00:02:09
Bolotnaya Square in Moscow.00:02:11
Dozens of participants in
a peaceful and approved assembly00:02:14
would be sentenced to prison.00:02:15
During her visit to Moscow
with Putin, who had returned00:02:18
to the presidency after
"rotating" positions with Medvedev,00:02:22
Merkel addressed him
not only as "Mr. President"00:02:24
but also as "dear Vladimir".00:02:26
In response, Putin called her00:02:28
"the German who is an example for us".00:02:29
Consider 2015 - the year
following the annexation of Crimea, 00:02:33
the hybrid war in Donbass that
claimed thousands of lives,00:02:36
the tragedy of the Malaysian Boeing,00:02:38
and the murder of my friend,
opposition politician Boris Nemtsov,00:02:41
near the Kremlin walls.00:02:43
In June 2015,
Putin visited Milan00:02:47
and Rome on a working visit,
meeting with Prime Minister00:02:50
Matteo Renzi and Italian President
Sergio Mattarella.00:02:53
On June 10th of that year, he met
with the Pope in the Vatican.00:02:58
On September 28, 2015,
he made a working visit00:03:01
to New York (USA).00:03:03
Putin delivered a speech at
the 70th UN General Assembly00:03:06
and held talks with
UN Secretary-General00:03:08
Ban Ki-moon,
NATO Secretary-General00:03:11
Jens Stoltenberg,
and US President Barack00:03:14
Obama.00:03:15
On October 2, Putin made
a working visit to Paris00:03:17
for the "Normandy Four" summit.00:03:19
At the Elysée Palace,
he met with00:03:22
French President François Hollande
and German Chancellor00:03:25
Angela Merkel.00:03:26
From November 15 to 16, 2015,
Putin flew to Antalya to participate00:03:31
in the G20 summit.00:03:32
There, among other things,
he met with German Chancellor00:03:35
Angela Merkel,
Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi,00:03:38
and British Prime Minister
David Cameron.00:03:40
On November 30, there was
a working visit to Paris.00:03:42
Participation in the 21st Conference
of the Parties to the UN Framework00:03:46
Convention on Climate Change
and the 11th Meeting00:03:50
of the Parties to
the Kyoto Protocol.00:03:52
Meetings were held behind closed doors
with US President Barack Obama,00:03:55
German Chancellor Angela Merkel,00:03:58
and European Commission President
Jean-Claude Juncker.00:04:00
Remember, this was the year
following the annexation of Crimea,00:04:03
the Malaysian Boeing tragedy, and00:04:06
the assassination of Boris Nemtsov.00:04:07
In the eyes of the West,
Putin continued to remain00:04:10
a legitimate president even
in 2020 - after organizing00:04:14
the "Constitutional Referendum"
after which he "reset"00:04:17
his terms and gained the opportunity
to run for president again.00:04:20
Meanwhile, independent experts
reported unprecedented00:04:23
falsifications and 22 million
essentially anomalous00:04:27
"ballots" in the vote.00:04:29
That same year, Alexey Navalny
was poisoned.00:04:32
Thanks to investigative journalists,
it was revealed that Alexey,00:04:35
who thankfully survived,
was not the only victim of state00:04:38
poisoners.00:04:39
Despite this, in 2021,
at a press conference following00:04:42
the summit in Geneva,
Biden stated: "We have begun00:04:45
bilateral strategic stability talks."00:04:48
The Russian dictator
was solemnly received00:04:51
in world capitals. They bought
oil and gas from him,00:04:54
sold him parts for weapon
systems and technologies,00:04:57
and treated him as an equal.00:04:59
Such a policy ultimately
gave Putin00:05:01
a sense of complete permissiveness
and absolute impunity.00:05:05
The war was already in full swing,
and riot control equipment was still00:05:08
being supplied to Russia: only
in July 2022 did the European00:05:12
Commission announce that
it planned (!) to include00:05:15
tear gas, fingerprint ink,
helmets, shields,00:05:18
and water cannons in
a new sanctions package.00:05:21
And these same people
indignantly ask the Russians:00:05:24
why don't you protest?00:05:25
Let's frankly admit: one way or
another, we all watered00:05:29
the garden bed on which
Putin's Napoleonic00:05:32
ambitions grew.00:05:33
We all bear responsibility
for the consequences.00:05:35
And we must also address
this problem together.00:05:40
In the West, it's commonly
believed that the Russian people00:05:42
today unanimously support the war
and thirst for Ukrainian blood.00:05:45
I assert that this is not the case.00:05:47
Yes, many of my fellow citizens
have been deceived by propaganda00:05:51
and intimidated by repression.
That's true.00:05:53
But Putin has still failed
to turn his aggression00:05:56
into a people's war.00:05:57
A vast number of Russians
have gone abroad00:05:59
to avoid conscription
and not to take up arms.00:06:03
A significant part of society
has chosen internal emigration00:06:06
and remains silent, justifiably
fearing criminal prosecution.00:06:09
The army is primarily
made up of mercenaries,00:06:12
motivated by money,
and criminals recruited to the front00:06:15
with promises of rehabilitation.00:06:18
Yet, there are no queues at
the military enlistment offices,00:06:21
public enthusiasm,
or other signs00:06:24
a popular war in Russia.00:06:25
The number of political prisoners
has surpassed a thousand.00:06:28
Sketching a portrait of the
average Russian political prisoner00:06:31
arrested for anti-war protests
is challenging: they are00:06:35
all so diverse.00:06:36
Behind bars are hundreds of people:00:06:38
teachers, retirees, students,
workers, regional journalists.00:06:42
A social cross-section of
our entire society.00:06:45
This is our people.00:06:46
You might ask: what do a few
hundred political prisoners mean00:06:49
in a country of millions?00:06:51
And I'd respond: hundreds
of people are quite significant00:06:54
when it's about consciously
choosing to sacrifice freedom,00:06:57
comfort, health, career,
and family time00:07:01
to stay true to
one's conscience and00:07:03
not remain silent.00:07:04
This isn't about a couple of days
in a filthy, stifling cell of00:07:08
a detention center or even 15
days in a special facility – we have00:07:12
tens of thousands of those.
It's about years of constant00:07:15
humiliation, uncertainty
far from loved ones.00:07:17
Have you heard how the children
of the dissenters00:07:19
are sent to social institutions?00:07:21
The 13-year-old Masha Moskaleva,
who drew an anti-war picture,00:07:24
was separated from her father and
sent to a shelter, while he was placed00:07:27
under house arrest (now he's in
a penal colony, Masha is, fortunately,00:07:31
with her mother). The 15-year-old
adopted son with disabilities00:07:35
of a journalist and activist
from Buryatia, Natalia Filonova,00:07:37
was sent back to the children's
home because she's in prison.00:07:39
These are just the stories
we know of.00:07:42
But these are enough00:07:44
for many Russians to choose silence.00:07:46
Dear sirs, honestly
answer the question:00:07:49
what would you do?00:07:51
Imagine your children in shelters
and yourself in prison00:07:53
each time you want
to accuse Russians00:07:56
of insufficient resistance.00:07:59
Yet the protests continue.00:08:01
Yes, there might be few, but00:08:04
every such street appearance
is a brave act.00:08:06
The real Russia is not fighting
Ukrainians on the frontline.00:08:09
The real Russia is in jail,
and also writes00:08:11
letters to political prisoners,
collects money for packages00:08:14
to send to detention centers.00:08:15
In a single day of a telethon,
Russians raised 40 million rubles00:08:18
to help political prisoners,
even with all the difficulties00:08:21
associated with
the widespread blocking00:08:23
of Russian cards.00:08:24
The real Russia assists hundreds
of thousands of Ukrainian00:08:27
refugees who have found themselves
in our country: they are welcomed00:08:31
in Russian families, they are
assisted with clothing and food,00:08:34
the injured are hospitalized,
and thousands are taken abroad00:08:37
for those who want to live in Europe.00:08:38
Mostly silently.00:08:40
So as not to harm those they help.00:08:43
Unpublicized, but every day
for over a year,00:08:46
hundreds of cars with Russian
plates are transporting00:08:49
Ukrainian families to the borders,
among whom are the wounded, the sick,00:08:52
those who have lost loved ones
in the course of hostilities,00:08:55
many of whom have lost everything
because of the war.00:08:58
Their already difficult life has recently
become even more complicated:00:09:01
Europe has closed its borders
to Russian vehicles.00:09:04
Last week, a Ukrainian refugee
from Mariupol,00:09:06
in the terminal stage of cancer,
had to cross the Russian-Estonian00:09:10
border in a wheelchair due
to Estonia's ban on entry00:09:14
for cars with Russian plates:
her son pushed the wheelchair00:09:17
for one and a half kilometers
in the border zone,00:09:20
crossing the bridge over Narva.00:09:23
They were afraid to send
the woman across the border00:09:26
in an ambulance, fearing the
vehicle's confiscation.00:09:28
To successfully counter Putin,
it is necessary to make00:09:31
the Russian people allies of
the international coalition00:09:34
that has risen to defend Ukraine,
allies of the entire00:09:37
free world.00:09:38
For this, at the very least,
the rhetoric towards the citizens00:09:40
of Russia needs to be changed.00:09:42
Please, stop intimidating
my compatriots by promising00:09:46
them all kinds of punishments
after Putin's defeat00:09:48
in Ukraine.00:09:49
Stop demeaning people by
indiscriminately blocking vehicles00:09:52
at the border and threatening
to put any holder of a Russian00:09:55
passport under the control of
Western special services.00:09:58
I ask you to clearly distinguish
between the military criminals00:10:01
who have seized power in the Kremlin
and ordinary citizens who find00:10:04
themselves in Russia as hostages
and live with their eyes shut:00:10:08
some out of fear for their lives
and future, and some out of shame00:10:10
and horror at what is happening.00:10:12
Finally, the most important thing:
let's show Russian society00:10:16
an image of Russia's future.00:10:18
If we want Russians to become
allies of the civilized world,00:10:21
we should not paint
an apocalyptic picture00:10:24
of our cities turned into
ruins or speak of the inevitable00:10:28
disintegration of our country.00:10:30
Instead, let's explain to people
that Russia without Putin00:10:33
is about building, not destroying.00:10:35
It's a free, happy, and
peaceful country where00:10:39
people want to live, work,
and raise families.00:10:41
It's not a utopia; it's possible.00:10:44
Dear friends!00:10:45
I understand that our society
bears a huge responsibility00:10:48
to the people of Ukraine
for the monstrous crime00:10:51
committed by our government
in our name.00:10:54
We will try to atone for this guilt.00:10:56
One day, I too will come
to Kyiv to ask for forgiveness.00:10:59
But Russia will always be next
to Ukraine and Europe.00:11:02
Historically and geographically,
we are destined to be neighbors.00:11:06
Therefore, let's be wise,
let's think together about00:11:09
tomorrow and how to prevent
the recurrence00:11:12
of the current tragedy.Description:
Илья Яшин направил обращение к международному форуму в Париже.
