> The Pskov Regional Court removed Yabloko’s list from the ballot for legislative elections, saying an authorization form submitted to election officials carried a seal missing required information. The ruling followed a challenge by Rodina. Yabloko says Pskov is the fifth region where officials have sought to block its regional election bid; the party’s list was previously removed in St. Petersburg, Leningrad region, and Karelia.
