Yavlinsky is an economist—and former boxing champion—who helped form the Yabloko Party, becoming its Duma deputy in 1993. He ran for president in 1996. Throughout the decade, he has been at the heart of Russia’s democratic and economic transitions. William Safire has called him “the last democratic reformer left standing.”
