Yabloko Defies Ban Amid Rising Peace Support | Johannesburg News
Description
Despite being barred from Russia’s parliamentary elections by the supreme court, Yabloko’s leader Nikolai Rybakov remains defiant, rallying supporters who chant “Shame!” outside courts and insisting public backing outweighs legal setbacks. Accused of foreign campaign ties—a claim they deny—Yabloko is appealing the ruling while capitalizing on rising polls showing declining war support among Russians. At 47 and a veteran of Russian opposition, Rybakov refuses to flee, wearing a peace dove pin as a symbol of his resolve, convinced that true change can only come from within Russia’s borders.
