> Russia’s Supreme Court has rejected Yabloko’s appeal against a ruling removing its federal list from the State Duma election. The party was barred after a lawsuit by Rodina alleged copyright violations in campaign materials and foreign funding. More than 85 people were detained outside the court during the August 17 hearing. Yabloko is Russia’s only party campaigning on an anti-war platform.
