Iabloko, singurul partid anti-război din Rusia, a fost exclus din alegerile parlamentare

The Russian Supreme Court has excluded the anti-war party Yabloko from the upcoming parliamentary elections, citing foreign funding as the main reason. Yabloko's leader, Nikolai Ribakov, argues that the true motive is the party's opposition to the war in Ukraine. The decision follows a complaint from the pro-Kremlin Rodina party, which accused Yabloko of undermining Russia and the electoral process. Despite its historical significance, Yabloko has struggled electorally since 2003 and remains the only party calling for an unconditional end to the war. The ruling party, United Russia, is expected to win easily, while authorities continue to suppress anti-war voices.
