Court removes Yabloko candidate from Moscow Duma race
The Moscow Regional Court removed the single-mandate candidate from the 'Yabloko' party from the State Duma elections following a lawsuit filed by the 'Greens' party candidate. The Moscow Regional Court annulled the registration of the 'Yabloko' party candidate for the State Duma in the Kolomenka single-mandate district No. 120, Viktor Bystryov.
Consensus
- The Moscow Oblast Court removed Viktor Bystrov from the State Duma elections.
- Bystrov was a candidate for the Yabloko party in Kolomna single-mandate district №120.
- The lawsuit was filed by Dmitry Gelyvera, a candidate from the Green Party running in the same district.

- The defense claimed the document errors were non-material and planned to appeal the decision.
- Allegations of extremism, copyright violations, and foreign funding were dismissed by the court due to lack of evidence.
