> After courts blocked an antiwar party from appearing on the ballot, allies of opposition politician Ilya Yashin have proposed a coordinated response. The bureau of Yashin’s Peaceful Russia party wants supporters to act on September 20, the main voting day for Russia’s State Duma election. The proposal calls for people to turn up and vote at precisely the same minute, making synchronized participation the group’s new tactic.
