As the Russian presidential election comes to a close - with just one expected outcome - Sky News takes a look at how Russians risked detention to protest against Vladimir Putin.
Across three days of voting there have been scattered incidents of Russians defying authorities in acts of protest against Vladimir Putin. The president is all but assured to win another six-year term in office, facing a lack of any credible opposition and amid reports of voting irregularities. Despite the seemingly preordained outcome, some Russians engaged in acts of defiance to express their opposition.
Meanwhile, outside the Russian embassy in London, several people lined up to cast their ballots. Aleksandra Kallenberg, 19, told Sky News she queued for an hour to vote in her first election after arriving in the UK in October. 'I spoiled my ballot. At least the government will know they don't have our support. While Putin is leader I will not go back to Russia but I hope to go back when Russia is free,' she said.
