Russians vote for new president
(Srilankamirror) - Polling stations across Russia have opened as the presidential election gets under way.
Sunday's vote sees Vladimir Putin hoping to become president again after four years as prime minister.
Mr Putin was Russia's president from 2000 to 2008, but was barred by the constitution from standing for a third consecutive term.
He faces four challengers, three of whom he has defeated in previous elections.
