Rodina

Rodina is a pro-Kremlin nationalist political party in Russia. It recently gained attention by accusing the liberal Yabloko party of receiving undeclared campaign support, notably from Western sources. This accusation was made in the context of the Russian Supreme Court barring Yabloko, the only officially registered party opposing Moscow's war in Ukraine, from participating in upcoming parliamentary elections. Rodina's action, by bringing a suit that led to Yabloko's disqualification, has contributed to the further narrowing of political dissent in Russia. The party's stance aligns with the government's narrative, as evidenced by its role in sidelining an opposition party during a period of heightened geopolitical tension and internal political control.
