Episode Details

Russia’s only registered anti-war party, Yabloko, is defiantly challenging a Supreme Court ban from parliamentary elections, arguing the ruling proves their peace message is resonating with the public. Leader Nikolai Rybakov vows to stay in Russia despite mounting pressure, citing hundreds of supporters chanting “Shame!” outside court as proof of growing dissent. Though holding few seats, Yabloko sees rising traction as more Russians reject the war — reflected in polls showing support for military action at its lowest since 2022. Rybakov, a veteran opposition figure, believes real change must come from within, even under censorship and wartime crackdowns, and carries a sign urging people: “Don’t kill each other.”
