Iliya Yashin

Ilya Yashin is a notable oppositionist and public activist, who has shown by personal example that it is courage to have your own opinion about what is happening in the country, regardless of public condemnation and persecution of the official authorities.

The biography of the future politician began in Moscow. Ilya Yashin was born on June 29, 1983. There is practically no information about Ilya's parents. It is known that Yashin's father in the past was the director of the Petersburg Telephone Network, and his mother was a member of the management of the Peter-Service company. Ilya grew up with his sister Natalia. At school, Yashin studied literature and the Russian language in depth, and in 2000 he entered the Environmental and Political University.

At the same time, Ilya Yashin became a member of the Yabloko political party. The young man is keenly interested in politics and does not miss a single event of activists. Ilya supports the protest movements of students, is constantly interested in innovations and laws proposed by the deputies. After graduating from the university, Yashin receives the long-awaited specialty of a political scientist. It should be noted that, already being a sophomore, Ilya worked as an assistant to Evgeny Bunimovich, a deputy of the Moscow Duma.

Ilya Yashin, from the very beginning of his political path, was distinguished by courage and a penchant for shocking. For example, with the help of special mountaineering equipment, Yashin stretched a poster over the Moskva River demanding the return of municipal elections. Ilya Yashin also committed a conditional self-immolation, protesting against the power of Vladimir Putin.

In 2008, Ilya Yashin, Garry Kasparov and Boris Nemtsov founded the Solidarity public movement. This step coincided with the exclusion of Yashin from the ranks of the Yabloko party. The official reason for the expulsion of Ilya was called "splitting" activities leading to conflicts within the party, as well as disobeying the instructions of the leadership. However, many Yabloko members expressed their support for Yashin.

A year later, in 2009, Ilya Yashin headed the election campaign of Boris Nemtsov, who ran for the leader of the Sochi city administration. These elections brought Nemtsov only 14% of the vote. At the same time, Yashin tried to become a deputy of the Moscow City Duma, but the young oppositionist was not allowed to participate in the elections, citing the fact that the signatures collected in support of Yashin were invalid.

A year later, Yashin could be seen at an anti-government rally in the city of Kaliningrad. This event brought together no less than 10 thousand people. And those who signed the petition for the departure of Vladimir Putin from power turned out to be 8 times more.

Do not think that the protest actions did not attract the attention of the authorities. Yashin was repeatedly fined and arrested, but even this did not force the oppositionist to change his political views.

In 2011, Ilya Yashin and Alexei Navalny were arrested for 15 days for going to the Central Election Commission building immediately after the rally on Chistoprudny Boulevard. The activists considered this arrest unlawful, and after being released, they filed a complaint with the European Court of Human Rights. The court declared the detention of the oppositionists unlawful and awarded the plaintiffs compensation in the amount of 26 thousand euros, obliging the authorities of the Russian Federation to pay Navalny and Yashin this amount.

In parallel with organizing rallies and pickets, Yashin writes articles in Novaya Gazeta, publishes the book Street Protest, in which he examines the forms of civilian pressure on the authorities. In addition, in co-authorship with Boris Nemtsov, Yashin is working on the analytical article “Putin. War ”, dedicated to the situation in Ukraine.

In 2012, Yashin stood at the head of a column that took part in the march for fair elections on Yakimanka. At the same time, Ilya Yashin took part in the elections for the composition of the opposition coordination council, where he took only fifth place. The victory went to Alexei Navalny. A year later, in 2013, Ilya Yashin announced that he was planning to run for the Moscow Duma.

In 2014, Yashin actively opposed the annexation of the Crimean Peninsula to the Russian Federation, considering it an armed seizure of the territory of another country.

The year 2015 is marked by the official registration of the PARNAS party. Mikhail Kasyanov became the leader of this political association. In 2016, Ilya Yashin planned to run for the State Duma from the PARNAS party, but shortly before the elections, the reputation of the party leader, Kasyanov, was tarnished by the story of an intimate relationship with Natalya Pelevina, also a party member.

After the release on NTV of a story about Kasyanov and Pelevina, Ilya Yashin refused to participate in the election campaign. After some time, Yashin and almost a third of the members of the political association "PARNAS" announced their withdrawal from the party. After these events, Yashin continued his political activities within the Solidarity movement.

Ilya Yashin's personal life, as well as his political life, has always evolved brightly. Despite his short stature (168 cm), Ilya constantly attracts the attention of girls with his mindset and sense of humor. There are rumors on the Web that Ilya Yashin is gay, but the young man refuted all the speculation with novels with famous beauties.

The media is aware of several vivid novels of the oppositionist. The first lover, about whom the journalists and Yashin's associates started talking, was the actress Irina Vilkova. Unfortunately, this relationship did not last long.

Then, in 2012, the public was alarmed when they learned about the novel by Ilya Yashin and Ksenia Sobchak. Joint photos of lovers began to appear on Instagram, Facebook and other social networks. At first, there were rumors that the romance of two opposition-minded young people was a well-thought-out PR stunt. However, after a sensational search in the apartment of Ksenia Sobchak, it turned out that the lovers live together.

It seemed that this couple would never part, because Ksenia and Ilya were united not only by personal sympathy, but also by political views. However, such optimistic forecasts did not come true. Sobchak and Yashin broke up shortly after Xenia's 31st birthday, which the young people celebrated in Morocco. Soon after that, Ksenia Sobchak agreed to become the wife of the actor and director Maxim Vitorgan.

Yashin was not left alone: ​​soon the man met the charming actress Varvara Shcherbakova. The details of this relationship Yashin kept secret, it is only known that they did not end with a fight.

And in February 2020, it became known that Vera Musaelyan, the soloist of the "AloeVera" collective, became Ilya's chosen one. The photo of the happy couple appeared on the couple's Twitter.

In addition to the personal life of the oppositionist, fans and simply curious people, Yashin's nationality is also interested. Some believe that Yashin is a Jew, while others believe Ilya is Russian. The young man himself does not comment on this aspect.

Now Ilya Yashin continues to participate in the country's political life, criticizing the actions of Vladimir Putin, Ramzan Kadyrov and other politicians. In 2017, Yashin was elected a deputy from the Krasnoselsky district of the capital. In addition, Yashin is working on the creation of a congress of independent deputies of the city of Moscow.
