“I have something to lose, but I am also here,” said TV host Ksenia Sobchak during the rally held in Moscow (Video).

The Telegraph - Speaking at the rally “For Fair Elections” on Sakharov Avenue in Moscow, TV host Ksenia Sobchak, the daughter of Anatoly Sobchak, the first elected governor of St. Petersburg and mentor to both Putin and Medvedev, urged the protesters to set up a party or a movement which would unite all of the opposition groups.

She said they needed to influence power, not fight for it.

“I have something to lose, but I am also here,” she said, “My father was one of those who wrote the [Russian] constitution.”

“The people who are struggling for power today change very little for the better when they come to power tomorrow”, she said.

Sobchak said that only a civil society could influence the authorities and change the state our country is in now.
