In Russia they want to remove the Yabloko party from the elections — the only "anti-war" party
Right now it is on trial. The suit was filed by the rival Rodina party. Formally there are three complaints: alleged copyright violations in campaigning; allegedly unreported financing of social media promotion; and signs of "extremism" in certain materials and the party’s position. In particular, the complaints concern a call for a ceasefire.
The party's chances, overall, are slim. One of the latest polls gives them about 2,8%, while 5% is needed to pass the party-list threshold. But votes for Yabloko would serve as a meter of the anti-war movement inside Russia and show how many Russians are willing to vote for "peace." That is why the authorities are trying so hard to fight them.
