Grigory Yavlinsky

Stephen Sackur speaks to former Russian presidential candidate Grigory Yavlinsky. Have the contenders to Vladimir Putin's crown failed to speak to Russia's heart?

Stephen Sackur speaks to Yabloko Party leader Grigory Yavlinsky. By the time Vladimir Putin's current presidential term ends, he will have dominated Russian politics for a quarter of a century. Grigory Yavlinsky has spent the Putin years in thankless, fruitless opposition, as his brand of liberal economics and political reform has failed to take root. Is it because, unlike Putin, he doesn't speak to Russia's heart?
