dissolution after March 2
MOSCOW. Feb 20 (Interfax) - The Russian Presidential Council for the
Promotion of Civil Institutions and Human Rights, headed by Ella Pamfilova, will
voluntary dissolve after the March 2 presidential election, head of the Social
Contract foundation Alexander Auzan said.
"We had a meeting yesterday. We talked with Pamfilova. We will voluntary
dissolve after March 2, because it is President [Vladimir Putin] who engaged us
in this activity, and we will leave with him. We will see what will be then,"
Auzan told a news conference at Interfax on Wednesday.
