"Mr President, with a hundred thousand people out on the streets again, it is clear that the movement of the enraged in Russia is no longer directed against the fraudulent parliamentary elections alone. It is a prelude to the mobilisations that will follow the re-election of Putin. It is increasingly a movement that is fed up and disgusted with the whole political elite and with the thieves, the oligarchs that have enriched themselves at the expense of Russian workers, Russian pensioners and Russian youth. The movement is a demonstration of massive people-power in action, but the current leadership – a combination of failed neoliberal politicians and right-wing nationalist demagogues – does not offer any way forward in the struggle for democratic rights and freedoms.
Today, when corrupt politicians dominate the electoral arena, my sister party in Russia does not recognise the legitimacy of the presidential elections. I support their call for an active boycott, turning the current protests into a new, genuine socialist force that can unite all working people, regardless of ethnic background, religious belief or sexual orientation, to challenge the rule of Putin, the oligarchs and the pro-Kremlin lackeys."@en1
