People respond to a call from opposition figure Yulia Navalnaya to turn up at polling stations at midday Moscow time (0900 GMT) in a form of protest that attempts to overwhelm them.

The polling station is where opposition leader Alexei Navalny was registered. IMAGES
Hundreds of people queue under the watchful eye of the police to pay their respects to the late Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny outside the Moscow church where his funeral is being held.

Around 400 pro-Kremlin activists demonstrate in Moscow in front of the US embassy on the ninth anniversary of the annexation of Crimea.

Russia's annexation of Crimea on 18 March 2014 brought a barrage of international sanctions, which have been severely tightened since the start of the Russian offensive in Ukraine. IMAGES
