Kremlin is seeking to achieve a historic turnout for Putin's expected re-election. To do this, local authorities are increasing their inventiveness.

Residents of the Altai region, in the south of the country, can for example hope to win a state-of-the-art iPhone or hairdressing appliances from the British brand Dyson. In Strezhivoy, Tomsk region, authorities have focused more on food. Voters will be offered, during their visit, rolls and porridge.
