Navalny’s widow Yulia Navalnaya urges Russians to vote for any party except United Russia in State Duma election

Yulia Navalnaya, the widow of Alexei Navalny and head of the Anti-Corruption Foundation he founded, released a video address after Russia’s Supreme Court removed Yabloko from the State Duma race — a party she had urged Russians to support.

Russia's only liberal, anti-war party will not be able to take part in next month's parliamentary elections, a Moscow court rules.

The ruling removes the only registered party campaigning on a pro-peace platform from the nationwide party-list ballot.

Kirill Rumyantsev, a candidate for Russia's State Duma from the anti-war Yabloko party, says he and his family have received death threats and demands that he withdraw from the election. He filed a police report and said he would remain in the race despite the threats.

OPINION: On elections, MMP, and the vote nobody thinks about.
