  "account": "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.",
  "summary": "With 96.86% of precinct tallies counted, Yabloko is on track to win seats in the Novgorod regional legislature’s eighth convocation, according to data from Russia’s Central Election Commission.",
