The candidate for the State Duma from "Yabloko" may be removed from the elections.

      Recently, the Lenin District Court of Kirov fined State Duma candidate Vladislav Arkhipov under Article 20.3 of the Administrative Offenses Code ("Propaganda or public demonstration of attributes or symbols of extremist organizations"). According to the press service of "Yabloko," the reason was a video titled "Funeral of Navalny," posted on social media in March 2024. The video displays an inscription that is considered the attribute of an extremist organization, as stated in the court's ruling. On Friday, July 17, Arkhipov was detained near the regional election commission building, taken to the police station, and then to court. That day, he was supposed to submit documents as a candidate for electoral district No. 106. Arkhipov's participation in the election campaign is now in question—an individual found guilty under Article 20.3 loses this right for one year from the date the court's decision comes into effect. It is worth noting that the case of Vladislav Arkhipov is not the only one. In July, Tatiana Pasman, a candidate from "Yabloko" for the State Duma and the Legislative Assembly of the Pskov region, was found guilty under the same article. *Included in the list of terrorists and extremists; the FBK established by him is included by the Ministry of Justice in the register of foreign agents, recognized as extremist, as well as an undesirable organization and banned in Russia.
