> Russian courts have revoked Yabloko’s lists for legislative elections in the Kaliningrad and Sverdlovsk regions. The Sverdlovsk court sided with LDPR, citing complaints including alleged campaign and copyright violations; Yabloko says its candidates will still run in 18 single-mandate districts. Courts and election officials have previously blocked the party in several other regions, while the Supreme Court removed its federal State Duma list.
