Yabloko party campaigns on anti-war platform ahead of Russian parliamentary elections

The Yabloko party is confirmed to be campaigning on an anti-war platform ahead of Russian parliamentary elections, positioning itself as the sole legal opposition against the conflict in Ukraine. Concurrently, 11 of 25 Yabloko nominees were disqualified from St. Petersburg municipal elections due to alleged paperwork deficiencies, consistent with established patterns of administrative exclusion of opposition candidates. The political viability and electoral impact of Yabloko's anti-war stance remain highly uncertain given the restrictive environment for dissent.
