Yabloko found more than a billion rubles in donations from donors with foreign ties among the parliamentary parties.

One of the grounds for removing Yabloko from the elections was 16 900 rubles in donations “from certain citizens allegedly receiving funds from abroad.” Yabloko studied the consolidated financial reports of the parliamentary parties submitted to Russia’s Central Election Commission for 2021–2025 and applied “the same criterion” to them.

It turned out that all five parliamentary parties received at least 1 billion 153 million rubles in donations from donors “with traces of foreign funding” during the period from 2021 to 2025.

811.75 million went to United Russia. The foreign ties of United Russia’s sponsors cover, among other things, 22 countries from the list of “unfriendly” states, Yabloko notes.

Donations from donors with foreign ties were also found for the Rodina party, whose lawsuit became the basis for removing Yabloko from the elections.
