Around 150 people protest outside the Russian embassy in the Latvian capital Riga, as Russian citizens vote in a presidential election set to hand Vladimir Putin another six years in the Kremlin. Putin, a 71-year-old 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. IMAGES

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
