Russia bars Yabloko from elections, limits school access

What is important is that 'Apple' seemed to be the only legal and safe way to vote for the end of the war - and this opportunity was quickly removed.

Consensus

The Constitutional Court of Russia annulled the federal list registration of the Yabloko party on August 10.
The Central Election Commission had registered Yabloko's federal list twelve days earlier.
Yabloko was listed second in the ballot and had a brief period of legal campaign activity.
The court cited violations of copyright and evidence of foreign funding as grounds for annulment.
Yabloko's leadership claimed the party's stance for peace was the core of its political difference with the government.
According to VTsIOM, 18% of respondents said they would consider voting for Yabloko.
The party's support reportedly grew noticeably during its ten days of legal campaign.
Schools in Russia are opening fewer senior classes than needed, especially in Novosibirsk where only four 10th-grade classes were formed from twelve 9th-grade classes.
Students with good grades are being denied entry to 10th grade and are instead directed to colleges.
The official reason given for this educational shift is the need for more workers and an oversupply of university-educated people.
College students receive a military deferment during their studies, but cannot avoid conscription after graduation.
Educational restrictions are seen as increasing the likelihood of young people entering military service.
