PoliticsPutin's ban provokes protest | DW News

Russia’s Supreme Court has stopped Yabloko, described as the country’s last registered anti-war party, from taking part in parliamentary elections. The official justification cites alleged violations of campaign rules. Critics interpret the ruling as the removal of one of the final legal avenues for Russians opposing the war to make their voices heard. They question why an electorally weak party was deemed threatening enough to exclude, while many young protesters were allowed to demonstrate in Moscow on Monday.
