Yabloko, Russia's only anti-war party, has been barred from September's parliamentary elections. The motion to bar Yabloko was filed by the nationalist pro-Kremlin party Rodina.

Russia’s Central Election Commission said Monday that it uncovered evidence indicating that candidates from the liberal Yabloko party received funding from abroad.

Russia’s highest court has ordered the only party opposing the Kremlin’s military action in Ukraine to be removed from the ballot in next month’s parliamentary election.
