00:00The Russian Supreme Court has barred the anti-war party Yabloko from running in the parliamentary elections.
00:07The pro-Kremlin party Rodina filed a lawsuit, accusing Yabloko of several violations, including copyright infringement and illegal campaign activities.
00:17Rodina claimed Yabloko's anti-war stance to be an incitement to extremism and a violation of Russia's territorial integrity.
00:26While Yabloko leader Nikolai Rybako rejected all the charges, hundreds of people gathered outside the Supreme Court building in Moscow
00:33to show their support.
00:36This day is our common goal, to make the world more possible.
00:42Because it is seen that a lot of people are fighting for the world, for the rest of the day
00:48to die.
00:49Russian opposition figures abroad also expressed their support for Yabloko.
00:53However, Rodina is not the only party with accusations.
00:56Other establishment political forces such as the Communist Party, the Liberal Democratic Party and the Fair Russia Party all made
01:02accusations of betraying the motherland and of failing to support those fighting in the war.
01:07Yabloko's election campaign is short and simple.
01:09It calls for a ceasefire agreement, diplomacy and the achievement of peace.
01:13The party intends to appeal the court's decision.
