Nikolai Rybakov, leader of Yabloko: “We have shown the world how many people in Russia want peace”
El único partido ruso que aboga por un alto el fuego ha sido vetado para las elecciones legislativas de septiembre pese a marchar segundo en las encuestas oficiales
Thousands of Russian citizens and opposition supporters backed the Yabloko party this summer. The Kremlin initially allowed Yabloko to participate in the September 18-20 legislative elections, with the party even ranking second in official polls. However, due to massive support for Yabloko, which is the only party calling for an end to the war against Ukraine, the Kremlin reversed its decision.
The party was then barred from the elections by the Supreme Court and still has one final appeal to make, to the Supreme Court and the Constitutional Court.
