“For a Russia free from fear and political repression!” How the authorities are pressuring Yabloko ahead of the elections

From September 18 to 20, Russia will hold elections to the State Duma. The only party likely to openly oppose the war and political repression in these elections is Yabloko.

In these cards, we explain what Yabloko is fighting for and what difficulties it is going through.
