All over Russia...citizens are preparing for next sunday's presidential election.
They are hoping to spot...and limit...ballot stuffing and vote rigging....they observed in December's parliamentary election.
While PM Putin is widely predicted to win with 66%...the opposition would like to force him into a run-off.
The problem is...who would Putin be matched against?
With just 15% support...veteran Commie leader Gennady Zyuganov...is the leading opponent.
But there several other candidates...Vladimir Zhirinovsky, Sergey Mironov...and finally...billionaire 'playboy oligarch' Mikhail Prokhorov (foto)...who some suspect is a 'plant' to drain-off votes.
