Rodina already got Yabloko thrown off Russia’s Duma ballot. Now it’s suing to remove the antiwar party from the one region where it still holds seats in the legislature.
The Rodina party has filed a lawsuit with the Pskov Regional Court seeking to remove Yabloko’s candidate list from the election to the Pskov regional parliament, Yabloko’s press service said.
Russia's Rodina party has filed a lawsuit against Yabloko, aiming to remove the antiwar party's candidate list from the upcoming Pskov regional parliament election. Yabloko's press service stated that Rodina is fighting "with no rules and no law." The lawsuit stems from a dispute over copyright violations and illegal payments for campaign advertising.
Yabloko remains eligible to participate in regional parliamentary elections in five regions, including Pskov, where it currently holds seats. Pskov is also the home region of Yabloko's deputy chairman, Lev Shlosberg, who was sentenced to 11 years in prison for opposing the war. The Pskov Regional Court will hear the case on August 25.
