Kremlin critic Boris Nadezhdin submits the documents to Russia's Central Election Commission needed to register as a candidate for the upcoming presidential elections in March. The would-be challenger to Vladimir Putin shot to fame with promises to end the conflict in Ukraine and the previous week announced he had passed the 100,000 signature threshold to register. Russia's Central Election Commission will review his application and make a decision about whether he can run. IMAGES
Hundreds of people wait in line outside the Russian embassy in Paris to cast their votes on the final day of the Russian presidential election, in which Vladimir Putin is running virtually unopposed. Victory would allow the former KGB agent to stay in the Kremlin until at least 2030, longer than any Russian leader since Catherine the Great in the eighteenth century and eclipsing Soviet leader Joseph Stalin.

Hundreds of people gather to pay their respects and lay flowers at the grave of opposition leader Alexei Navalny on the final day of a presidential election that is guaranteed to cement Vladimir Putin's hardline rule. Before his death in an Arctic prison last month, Navalny urged Russians to protest on March 17. His widow, Yulia Navalnaya, has reiterated his call and said protesters should show up in large numbers at the same time to overwhelm polling stations. IMAGES
