He is best known as the author of the 500 Days Programme, a plan for the transition of the USSR to a free-market economy, and for his leadership of the social-liberal Yabloko party. He ran three times for Russia's presidency – in 1996, against Boris Yeltsin, finishing fourth; and in 2000 and 2018 against Vladimir Putin, finishing third and fourth respectively. In 2012 presidential election he was prevented from running for president by Russian authorities, despite collecting 2 million signatures of Russian citizens for his candidacy, as was demanded by law.
Yavlinsky holds a Ph.D. in economics from the Central Economic Mathematical Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences; his doctoral dissertation was entitled "The socio-economic system of Russia and the problem of its modernization."

Yavlinsky remains a prominent critic of Putin and his goverment. After the presidential elections in 2018 won by Putin Yavlinsky said: "The plebiscite of love for the leader does not imply a change. Everything will remain as it was: poverty, corruption, backwardness, war, lies and disrespect... Therefore, virtually everyone lost, including those who voted for Putin, and those who sat at home, but the absolute minority won, which all these years has been parasitising on Putin's system".
