Russian Supreme Court Removes Party "Jabloko" from Elections

The Supreme Court of the Russian Federation has excluded the party "Jabloko" from the elections to the State Duma. This decision was made by Judge Vyacheslav Kirillov, who granted the request of lawyers from the party "Rodina."

According to a report on the proceedings, the spokesman for the "Jabloko" party requested that the court entirely reject "Rodina"'s initial application. The politician pointed out that his party had neither violated any laws nor had the intention to do so.

The exclusion of "Jabloko" affects its participation in the upcoming parliamentary elections. The party was known in the Russian political landscape as the only anti-war force on the ballot.

The decision came at a time when "Jabloko" continues to seek to defend its political position. A representative of the party stated that they remain committed to working in Russia and maintaining contact with citizens.

The exclusion could have implications for the party's political activities, which has actively opposed the war in Ukraine. With the decision to exclude "Jabloko" from the elections, questions arise regarding the future of political opposition in Russia.
