MOSCOW - Russia's Supreme Court on Thursday rejected two legal challenges by anti-war candidate Boris Nadezhdin after he was disqualified from next month's presidential election, Nadezhdin said.
Nadezhdin had hoped to stand against President Vladimir Putin but was barred last week by the electoral commission, which said it found irregularities in the list of supporters' signatures he had presented in support of his candidacy. REUTERS
