 COU5T OVERTU5NS POLL BAN ON LIBERALS   
 Russia's Supreme Court has overturned a
 ruling against the country's biggest   
 liberal party which would have banned  
 it from taking part in December's polls
                                        
 Judge Alexander Sjdin said the court   
 had given the Central Electoral        
 Commission three days to register      
 Yabloko for the 17 December election.  
                                        
 The Commission had barred Yabloko from 
 the election for technical reasons.    
                                        
 Yabloko's leader, Gregory Yevlinskz,   
 said the ruling meant there was still  
 hope for democracy in Russia.
