Interestingly, there seems to be something of a kerfuffle going on in the "left" (using the term broadly) circles in and around Russia. KPRF and groups aligned with them call for people to come and voot. Many, quite many it seems, groups call for acts like this - coming to the polls, but ruining the bulletin or some such. A lot of this noise seems to come from Rudoy. The group I'm in calls for not going to the polls, because bourgeois elections are meaningless anyway
