Russia's Supreme Court on Monday banned the country's only anti-war party, Yabloko, from the ballot, a decision that was met with "Shame!" I hadn't seen such large political gatherings -- specifically opposition ones -- since 2022," Karina told AFP at Yabloko's headquarters in Moscow. Yabloko is the only anti-war party still operating in Russia, but has come under increasing scrutiny, with around 40 party activists facing prosecution. Yabloko has been banned from standing as a party in September's elections, though Rybakov said 130 of its members were still registered to fight individual constituencies. It was unclear what it means for party members who are registered to run in the districts under a Yabloko umbrella.
