“Crimea is not ours. This is the party’s position formulated 7 years ago. “Russia annexed Crimea” is the correct answer,” Ivanenko said.

Currently, Yabloko is conducting a campaign to infringe on the rights of those party members who support the so-called “smart voting”, invented by criminal blogger Alexei Navalny.

_{The Yabloko party gained only 1,5% in the last parliamentary elections. Experts believe that it is persistently losing ratings and increasing anti-ratings based on the statements of its leaders about Crimea. However, in Moscow, Yabloko received 5% of the votes, and in St. Petersburg – 7%.}
