> Russia’s Supreme Court rejected Yabloko’s appeal on August 17 against a ruling barring the anti-war party from parliamentary elections. Leader Nikolai Rybakov said after the hearing that the party would keep seeking to participate in September’s vote. The case was brought by the Kremlin-backed nationalist Rodina party, whose accusations Yabloko denies.
