The Only Liberal and Anti-War Party in Russia Will Not Participate in Parliamentary Elections

The only liberal and anti-war party in Russia will not be able to participate in the parliamentary elections scheduled for December. A ruling from the Moscow court has banned this party from taking part in the elections. This event is intensifying issues of party freedom and political pluralism in Russia. No explanation has been provided regarding the party's identity and the election preparation process. At the same time, this decision can be seen as further restricting opposition in Russia.
