Russia’s only antiwar party loses three more candidates to court rulings, the latest blow before parliamentary elections

Russian courts disqualified three Yabloko party candidates running in single-mandate districts, all on the same day.

In Tatarstan, the republic’s Supreme Court removed Airat Gumerbayev from the ballot after the local election commission sued him over his holdings of foreign securities.

The Tula Regional Court struck Yabloko’s regional branch head, Anton Paramonov, from the ballot after his rival Svetlana Bobrovskaya of the Pensioners’ Party sued him — again over foreign securities.

The Supreme Court of Bashkortostan revoked Alexey Akimenko’s registration. He was accused of administering the “Podslushano Agidel” online community, which allegedly hosted “extremist materials” — a label the court applied to the logos of social networks banned in Russia. Akimenko was running in the same single-mandate district as Rodina party chairman Alexey Zhuravlev.

Yabloko said it would appeal all three disqualifications.

Yabloko is the only party running in Russia’s September elections on an antiwar platform. Russia’s Supreme Court struck the party’s federal list from the ballot on August 10. Its regional lists were later removed in the Pskov, Kaliningrad, and Sverdlovsk regions and in Karelia.

Yabloko’s website says the party has nominated 125 single-mandate candidates across 51 regions.
