Russia Parliamentary Election: 2nd PlaceYabloko

Russia's Supreme Court has rejected Yabloko's supervisory appeal against the decision to remove the federal list from the State Duma elections for consideration by the Presidium, the party's press service reported. As Yabloko notes, the 64-page appeal was filed the day before, on September 2, and the Supreme Court took about 24 hours to review it. "The reasons for the refusal are still unknown. Party lawyer Vitaly Isakov requested a certified copy of the judicial decision adopted following the review of the supervisory appeal from the Supreme Court. Yabloko's lawyers have already begun preparing a complaint to the Constitutional Court of Russia. The party intends to file it as soon as possible," Yabloko wrote.

How Yabloko's Removal Changes the Race for Second Place in the State Duma A FOMnibus poll has shown a rise in the number of people undecided about who to vote for in the State Duma elections. This figure rose from 17% of respondents to 22%. This, among other things, reflects the conflict surrounding Yabloko voters, whose party list was removed from the elections by the Supreme Court on August 10, says Mikhail Vinogradov, president of the Petersburg Politics Foundation. In his opinion, they will have to choose between New People and the Communists. "The CPRF is about social protest. NL is about normalization, renewal, progress," says political scientist Konstantin Kalachev.

Parliamentary parties are also forced to defend themselves against similar claims. The mechanism for removing candidates for copyright infringement has long existed, but the principle of law enforcement is now changing, notes Georgy Kamnev, head of the legal service of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation and State Duma deputy. The novelty of this series is that a website can now be recognized as separate campaign material, as was done with Yabloko, confirms Ivan Brikulsky, head of the Constitutional Justice Center. Removing candidates for copyright infringement has been a trend for the past five years, and it is even surprising that not many lawsuits have been filed yet, notes lawyer Maxim Sikach. Most likely, the main wave will begin 8-10 days before election day, he believes. Max | Telegram | Newsletter | iOS App | Android]

The Supreme Court of the Russian Federation has removed the only anti-war party, Yabloko, from the State Duma elections. The decision was made following a lawsuit by the pro-Kremlin Rodina party, Russian media outlets report. The formal grounds for the lawsuit were “violations in campaigning,” the alleged use of copyrighted AI images, and allegations of foreign funding. The decision is not yet final — the party has 5 days to appeal it. “Yabloko” remained the only legal structure in Russia that ran in the elections with the slogan “For peace and freedom!” and a call for a ceasefire. The Russian prosecutor's office and other parties regarded this as "extremism and calls to violate the territorial integrity of the Russian Federation." At the same time, the Kremlin completely neutralized key party leaders through criminal and administrative cases: in particular, the party's head, Mykola Rybakov, was deprived of the right to run due to a fine for a post with a portrait of Alexei Navalny, his deputy, Maksym Kruglov, was sentenced to 7 years in prison for posts about Russian war crimes in Bucha and Mariupol, another deputy, Lev Shlosberg, is in pretrial detention on charges of "discrediting" the Russian army. It is worth noting that, despite the anti-war rhetoric, the Yabloko party's program only provided for a ceasefire and the start of diplomatic negotiations with Kyiv. It does not mention the withdrawal of Russian troops, the return of occupied territories, or the payment of reparations to Ukraine.
