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
People protest outside the Russian Embassy in Warsaw following the announcement of Alexei Navalny’s death. The Russian Prison Service (FSIN) has said Navalny, the Kremlin's most prominent critic, died in an Arctic prison where he was serving a 19-year sentence, after suffering a sudden illness. Some participants are seen holding placards that read "Putin is a killer". IMAGES
