Yabloko, a pro-LGBTQ+ opposition party that has consistently criticised Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, was excluded from the nationwide party-list ballot on 10 August. The decision prompted protests outside the Supreme Court in Moscow, where around 500 supporters gathered as the ruling was delivered.

They are very brave to show up for a protest. I hope they won't end up in a gulag.

And since there is no anti-war party to vote for, what can anti-war people even do? Just not vote?

Here's the neat part, it doesn't matter who votes for what party, because it's all rigged anyway!

In an existential war for existence "anti war" is pro war. Russia has more natural resources than any other nation, and especially per capita. That's all you need to know about this revived Cold War propaganda.

With so many "allies" beheading gay folks it takes some nerve looking past that for war propaganda.

War isn't going to help gay Russians.

No one talks about Russia's multiple party system that doesn't seem to work.
