PoliticsRussia: Why is the Yabloko party barred from the elections?

Russia’s Supreme Court has excluded the anti-war opposition party Yabloko from the parliamentary elections scheduled for September. The decision raises questions about how the election campaign will develop and what space remains for opponents of the war. It also prompts scrutiny of the broader political mood in Russia. The party’s exclusion is therefore presented as a significant test for the country’s electoral and opposition landscape.
