Rodina’s candidates are rejected in Sverdlovsk, days after its lawsuit barred the antiwar Yabloko party from Russia’s State Duma race
The Sverdlovsk region’s election commission has rejected the pro-war Rodina party’s candidate list for elections to the regional legislative assembly.
On August 10, Russia's Supreme Court barred the anti-war Yabloko party from participating in the State Duma race, following a lawsuit filed by the pro-war Rodina party, according to the independent Russian outlet 7×7. Despite this, the Sverdlovsk region's election commission accepted Yabloko's candidate list for the regional legislative assembly elections, contrary to Rodina's rejection, the outlet reported.
Yabloko is the sole party in Russia running under an anti-war slogan, "For peace and freedom, for a life without fear."
