Protesters gathered outside the Supreme Court building.

About 500 people gathered outside the Russian Supreme Court building in Moscow, where a lawsuit seeking to disqualify the Yabloko party from the election is being heard.

Most of the participants are young people. Party supporters are chanting the party’s name, according to Dialog.UA.

The pro-Kremlin party “Rodina” filed a lawsuit against the opposition political force. Its representatives accuse Yabloko of exceeding spending limits on election campaigning and distributing materials through “foreign agents” and foreign social media platforms.

Later during the hearing, a representative of “Rodina” also alleged that “Yabloko” had infringed on copyright by using a photograph depicting the aftermath of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima. At the same time, the prosecution makes no secret of the fact that it does not even know who owns the photograph.

The situation has drawn additional attention amid growing interest in “Yabloko” online. Over the past two weeks, engagement with posts about the party has increased 4.5-fold, according to unofficial data from independent sources.
