War opponents unwelcome – Russian opposition party barred from parliamentary election
Russia’s election authorities have barred Yabloko from taking part in the parliamentary election, despite the party being the only registered political force openly calling for an end to the war in Ukraine (SRF). The decision shows that the war is reshaping Russia’s domestic political system as well as its foreign policy, further narrowing the space for organized opposition to the invasion.
