Russia's Supreme Court on Monday barred the country's only anti-war party, Yabloko (Apple), from running in September's parliamentary elections. About a hundred protesters gathered outside the courthouse chanting, "Shame! Shame!" after the ruling was delivered.
The court thereby upheld a suit brought by a pro-Kremlin nationalist party, stripping voters opposed to the four-and-a-half-year war in Ukraine of their last option on the ballot.
