Russia prepares for votes amid opposition call to live
The article discusses the efforts of the Liberal Party "Yabloko" in Russia to participate in the upcoming parliamentary elections. The party's slogan is peace, and it opposes Russia's war in Ukraine. Founded in 1993 and achieving relative successes after the collapse of the Soviet Union, the party aims to express its stance by calling for an end to the conflict, considering the elections an opportunity to show that millions of Russians oppose the continuation of the war—particularly among young people frustrated by restrictions and media control. Despite being marginalized and polling at less than 3% support, the party seeks to emphasize the importance of the voice of peace, even in the face of potential legal threats. It faces the challenge of being a legitimate participant in the elections amid accusations of collusion with the authorities.
