Yulia Navalnaya Urges Russians to Protest Putin When Voting on March 17
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

In Russia, Yulia Navalnaya, the widow of the late opposition leader
Alexei Navalny, is urging voters to protest President Vladimir Putin at
the polls in the March 17 election.

Yulia Navalnaya: "We need to use the election day to show that we exist
and there are many of us, we are real, we are alive, we exist, and we
are against Putin. We need to come to the polling station on the same
day and time: noon of March 17. It is up to you to choose what to do
next. You can vote for any candidate but Putin. You can spoil the
ballot. You can write on it, in big letters, 'Navalny.'"
