All day on August 10, Russia’s Supreme Court heard a lawsuit seeking to revoke the Yabloko (“Apple”) party’s registration for the State Duma elections. Hundreds of people stood outside the courthouse on Povarskaya Street the entire time, supporters of the only antiwar party that could theoretically participate in the vote. Most were Muscovites under 30, many of them teenagers. For many of them, it was their first street protest; some were not even old enough to vote in September. They passed apples around, and in the evening they went home peacefully, though deflated by the court’s ruling. The independent journalists’ cooperative Bereg was there too. Meduza is translating Bereg’s report on what happened in central Moscow and what young Yabloko supporters had to say.
