🇷🇺⚡️ — Russia’s only major anti-war opposition party, Yabloko, has been disqualified from participating in the September State Duma elections by Russia’s Supreme Court.

Yabloko has participated in every federal parliamentary election since 1993 and has never previously been barred from a State Duma election, making this the first time a registered political party in Russia has been disqualified from a federal election.

The party had received support from a broad cross-section of Russia’s opposition in exile, including Yulia Navalnaya, widow of Alexei Navalny; former opposition politician Ilya Yashin; opposition leader and former political prisoner Vladimir Kara-Murza; former Navalny associate Lyubov Sobol; and human rights activist Oleg Orlov.

The decision removes the only major party explicitly campaigning against Russia’s war in Ukraine from the ballot.
