| The Moscow Times - Independent N | RUSSIAN SUPREME COURT BARS YABLOKO PARTY FROM STATE DUMA ELECTIONS | 5 hrs ago |
The Russian Supreme Court has barred the opposition party Yabloko from participating in the September parliamentary elections, according to Deutsche Welle. The ban follows a motion filed by the nationalist pro‑Kremlin party Rodina, removing the sole party openly opposing the war in Ukraine from the ballot.
Yabloko, historically Russia’s only anti‑war party, will be excluded from the upcoming State Duma vote. The motion that led to the ruling was initiated by Rodina, a party that supports the Kremlin’s policies. Both BBC News and Al Jazeera have reported the ban, while The Moscow Times confirmed the Supreme Court’s ruling.
Yabloko’s exclusion limits the presence of an anti‑war voice in Russia’s legislative body, potentially affecting the political landscape ahead of the elections.
