> Sverdlovsk’s election commission rejected the pro-war Rodina party’s list for regional legislative elections, saying it had not provided all required registration documents, including signature sheets. The decision came days after Russia’s Supreme Court removed Yabloko from the State Duma race following a Rodina lawsuit. Yabloko is campaigning under an anti-war slogan.
