They cut without a knife

The Supreme Court of the Russian Federation on Tuesday refused to consider Yabloko’s complaint against the Central Election Commission’s decision not to register the party’s list for the elections to the Legislative Council of St. Petersburg, scheduled for March 11. At first, Yabloko's lists were not registered in the elections in St. Petersburg and the Oryol region due to exceeding the permissible number of false signatures. On February 9, the Central Election Commission recognized the legality of the party’s removal from the elections in St. Petersburg. A lawsuit was filed with the Supreme Court, which refused to consider it.
