Polls open for Russia’s presidential election
Polling stations have opened across Russia's vast expanse for the presidential election widely expected to return Vladimir Putin to the Kremlin.
Sunday's election comes in the wake of a series of massive protest rallies sparked by alleged fraud in December's parliamentary elections.
Although the protests were the largest public show of discontent in post-Soviet Russia, opinion polls show Putin far ahead of four other candidates, with enough support to easily win in the first round.
