> Russia’s highest court has barred Yabloko from taking part in the parliamentary elections scheduled for September. The party is described as Russia’s only anti-war political force. The request to exclude Yabloko was brought by Rodina, a nationalist party aligned with the Kremlin. The ruling prevents Yabloko from appearing on the ballot in the upcoming vote.
