She said she had written her late husband\u2019s name on her ballot after voting at the Russian embassy.<\/p>\n<p>Some voters in Moscow appeared to heed Navalny\u2019s call, telling AFP they had come to honour his memory and show their opposition in the only legal way possible.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI came to show that there are many of us, that we exist, that we are not some insignificant minority,\u201d said 19-year-old student Artem Minasyan at a polling station in central Moscow.<\/p>\n<p>Leonid Volkov, a senior aide to the late opposition leader who was recently attacked in Lithuania where he fled political persecution in Russia, dismissed the results published by Moscow.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe percentages drawn for Putin have, of course, not the slightest relation to reality,\u201d Volkov, Navalny\u2019s former chief of staff wrote on social media.<\/p>\n<p>Russia\u2019s foreign ministry spokeswoman, Maria Zakharova, argued the long lines outside embassies abroad were evidence of support for the Kremlin.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf the people queueing abroad to vote in the Russian presidential election had taken part in the \u2018noon\u2019 action, they would have all dispersed after noon. But no,\u201d she wrote on social media.<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 Tributes to Navalny \u2013<br \/>\nAt Navalny\u2019s grave in a Moscow cemetery, AFP reporters saw spoiled ballot papers with his name scrawled across them on a pile of flowers.<\/p>\n<p>Navalny, who galvanised mass protests, tried to run against Putin in the 2018 presidential election and toured Russia to drum up support, but his candidacy was rejected.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe live in a country where we will go to jail if we speak our mind. So when I come to moments like this and see a lot of people, I realise that we are not alone,\u201d said 33-year-old Regina.<\/p>\n<p>There were repeated acts of protest in the first days of polling, with a spate of arrests of Russians accused of pouring dye into ballot boxes or arson attacks.<\/p>\n<p>Any public dissent in Russia has been harshly punished since the start of Moscow\u2019s offensive in Ukraine on February 24, 2022 and there were repeated warnings from the authorities against election protests.<\/p>\n<p>The OVD-Info police monitoring group announced that at least 80 people had been detained across nearly 20 cities in Russia for protest actions linked to the elections.<\/p>\n<p>The surge in Ukrainian strikes on Russia continued unabated with the Russian defence ministry reporting at least eight regions attacked overnight and on Sunday morning.<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 Fatal border attacks \u2013<br \/>\nThree airports serving the capital briefly suspended operations following the barrage, while a drone attack in the south sparked a fire at an oil refinery.<\/p>\n<p>In Russia\u2019s border city of Belgorod, multiple rounds of shelling killed two \u2014 a man and a 16-year-old girl \u2014 and wounded 12 more, the region\u2019s governor said Sunday.<\/p>\n<p>The governor has ordered the closure of shopping centres and schools in Belgorod and the surrounding area for two days because of the strikes.<\/p>\n<p>In the Russian-controlled territory of Ukraine\u2019s Zaporizhzhia region, where voting is also taking place, \u201ckamikaze drones\u201d set a polling station ablaze, according to the Moscow-installed authorities.<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 \u2018Difficult period\u2019 \u2013<br \/>\nPutin, a former KGB agent, has been in power since the last day of 1999 and is set to extend his grip over the country until at least 2030.<\/p>\n<p>If he completes another Kremlin term, he will have stayed in power longer than any Russian leader since Catherine the Great in the 18th century.<\/p>\n<p>In a pre-election address Putin said Russia was going through a \u201cdifficult period\u201d and called on the country to be \u201cunited and self-confident.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A concert on Red Square is being staged on Monday to mark 10 years since Russia\u2019s annexation of Ukraine\u2019s Crimea peninsula \u2014 an event that is also expected to serve as a victory celebration for Putin.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The highly-touted election was marked by a surge in deadly Ukrainian bombardments, incursions
