Yegor Yakovlev, who has died at the age of 75, was the most prominent voice of glasnost during the years after Mikhail Gorbachev came to power in the Soviet Union.
Yakovlev was a member of the 60s generation that grew to maturity in the Soviet Union in the years after Nikita Khrushchev's secret speech to the 20th party congress in 1956, when he denounced Stalin's rule; these Communist party reformists were critical of the party, but believed in socialism with a human face.
Yakovlev went on to revive Obsh- chaya Gazeta as a regular newspaper, continuing to promote democratic policies and raise controversial issues, such as the war in Chechnya, until 2002, when he sold the paper.
