Grigorij Javlinskij

politician

Grigorij Javlinskij is a prominent Russian economist and politician, known for his advocacy of liberal reforms in post-Soviet Russia. As a key figure in the early 1990s, he co-authored the '500 Days' program aimed at transitioning Russia to a market economy. He has been a vocal critic of both the Soviet regime and the current political landscape in Russia, emphasizing the need for a constructive dialogue between Russia and the West regarding security architecture, particularly in the aftermath of the Cold War. Recently, he has been cited in discussions about the missed opportunities for Russia's integration into a new European security framework, arguing that a 'second Yalta' conference should have been convened in the early 1990s to address this issue.
