Known as one of the few remaining legally registered political parties in Russia openly critical of the war in Ukraine, Yabloko faced disqualification following official rulings regarding candidate registration and compliance.

“Elections” in Russia? 😂😅😂😅😂😅
Haha 😄
Elections aren't real in dictatorships. Putin will get 108% of the vote.
We all knew this was coming
😱 Okay, I retract my previous claim that SCOTUS is the worst Supreme Court in the world!
🥇🇷🇺 🥈🇺🇸 🥉🇨🇳
"Let's not continue this expensive, offensive war against a country that didn't do anything to us" EXTREMISTS!!!
who didn't expect this 🙂
😅😅😅😅😅😅😅 That is mother Russia bingo
DW is calling 300 people a “meaningful opposition”? 😂
Oh? They had any remaining there?
let's talk about Ukrainian elections 😂
This is like america, but here they maim your brain.
I'm glad you covered this story for your English-speaking audience, but you should talk about the contrived way that this happened. It was not even Putin's party (United Russia), but another pro-Kremlin party "Rodina" (motherland) that brought a clown car full of accusations to the Supreme Court against Yabloko (Apple). We're talking about not only garden variety "extremist" accusations, but petty claims that their logo and slogan were stolen from others. Any vote against United Russia is a protest vote, and a poll a few weeks ago showed Yabloko actually fairing well. This and the banning of Nadezhdin speak volumes to the hopeless state of Putin's blood-thirsty dictatorship where there are only these self-satirical "elections". Rock bottom has been reached with Putinism, and it has no future.
And they call Zelensky and Ukraine a dictatorship in Russia lol…
They are afraid.
Russia is going to start ramping things up. They cant have ANYONE speaking out against the war.
…and it seems in Germany, the establishment are also trying to ban the AFD because they also are anti-war with Russia. As always western double standards are comical at this stage.
lunatic extremists who don`t want war.
🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️ pathetic DW and German propagandists are in no position to criticize Russia. DW and German fascists want to ban AFD because it's the most popular party and it's against arming and funding Ukraine. AFD is also against western imperialism and wars.
What a joke of a country 😂
This video makes the party banned due to being found guilty of receiving foreign funding sounds like it is banned for being anti-war.
If germany/french can why russia can't?
A „court“? In Russia??😂
Dictatorship, working progress. And Trump works with Putin. Compliments USA.
The party leadership will appeal the ruling before being shipped off to the SMO/Siberia…
Russian court excludes anti-war party.
German gov excludes AfD party.
Good match!
just like Germany going to ban AFD
No surprise at all. That's what dictators do.
