> Yulia Navalnaya has called on Russians to support any party other than United Russia in the State Duma election. The widow of Alexei Navalny and head of his Anti-Corruption Foundation made the appeal in a video address. Her message came after Russia’s Supreme Court removed Yabloko from the parliamentary race, despite her earlier urging that voters back the party.
