On 27 November 1996, after the president's controversial and partly internationally unrecognized change to the constitution, she was not a member of the House of Representatives of the first term.
[4] According to the Constitution of Belarus of 1994, her mandate as a deputy to the Supreme Council ended on 9 January 2001; however, subsequent elections to this body were never held.
[12] She put forward her candidacy and on 21 November 2000 and she became a member of the House of Representatives of the 2nd term from the Eastern Electoral District No.
[15] She thus became one of two people, next to Vladimir Novosiad, who were elected to the Chamber and who had previously belonged to the opposition in the Supreme Council of the 13th term.
[2] She was one of two deputies, alongside Iwan Paszkiewicz, who reacted to the letter sent on 3 March 2001 by the leaders of the four main Protestant Churches in Belarus.
In the letter, they criticized the new version of the law on freedom of religion, according to which the registration of religious associations was made more difficult, and also expressed concern about the particularly privileged position of the Russian Orthodox Church.
According toJuryja Czawusaua, during the election campaign, she exceeded the funds allocated for agitation by disseminating reports on her parliamentary activities for deputies of the House of Representatives of the second term.
[3] According to Alaksander Piatkiewicz and Wolf Rubinczyk, in the House of Representatives she showed "moderate opposition", i.e. she spoke out against individual repressive actions of the executive power.
However, there is a community of nations of the former Soviet Union, from which Abramova excludes Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia, but includes Israelis coming from the territory of the former USSR.
It declares support for maintaining a pragmatic balance between Eastern and Western policies in order to achieve benefits for the country.
She describes Russia's policy towards Belarus as pragmatic, consistent with its national and state interests and the will of the majority of Russian society.
[21] Europe, in Abramova's opinion, is a community of cultural and civilizational values to which Belarus belongs from the point of view of geography and history, but not in terms of dominant social thought.
Belarus should strive to achieve European standards in the field of quality and comfort of life, as well as social security, but should not adopt some civic values.
Abramova criticizes what she considers to be too much trust of Europeans in the information provided in the media, their materialistic lifestyle and excessive bureaucracy.
However, in the foreseeable future, Belarus should not make a civilizational choice and wait for the final development of the international order.
Abramova explains the negative attitude of the European Union towards Belarusian authorities as a lack of understanding of the processes taking place in the country.
This happened so that, when the majority of the opposition supported the boycott and Abramova did not join it, she would put forward her candidacy and win the seat as a deputy.
[22] According to political scientist Iryna Yekadumava, the "Yabloko" organization she led—after right-wing parties refused to contact the authorities that they considered illegal—had a chance in 2001 to capture the electorate of centrist forces, represented by the middle class, intelligentsia, part of the nomenklatura and employees of the state apparatus.
