Russia’s antiwar Yabloko party was barred from seven of eight regional races. In the one where it made the ballot, it’s set to enter the regional legislature.

Russia’s antiwar party Yabloko has narrowly avoided being barred from participating in seven out of eight regional elections, according to figures from the Central Election Commission. The party secured 6.2% of the vote, enough to make it onto the ballot in the Novgorod region, where it is poised to enter the regional legislature. In other regions, Yabloko’s party lists were rejected after legal challenges. Yabloko ran exclusively on an antiwar platform, distinguishing itself from the other parties.
