On August 10, Russia’s Supreme Court barred Yabloko — the only party in the race campaigning for peace with Ukraine — from the State Duma elections. The formal pretext was a lawsuit from the Rodina party, which accused Yabloko of numerous violations of election law: copyright infringement, incitement to extremism, and “gray-area” campaigning. It was unclear which of those claims the Supreme Court accepted and which it rejected, because the ruling was not made public. But on August 12, several Russian media outlets and Yabloko itself summarized the substance of the ruling. In short, the court agreed with most of Rodina’s claims. Yabloko says it will appeal.
