TL;DR Summary

Yulia Navalnaya, the widow of Alexei Navalny, has urged Russians to protest against President Vladimir Putin on election day by forming long queues at polling stations, tearing up their ballot papers, or writing 'Navalny'. This call comes after Navalny's sudden death in a Russian penal colony, for which Ms Navalnaya has blamed Putin. The Russian presidential election is expected to take place from 15 to 17 March, with Putin widely anticipated to win a fifth term, although international observers doubt the fairness of the election.
