Queues form outside the election campaign office of Boris Nadezhdin, a pro-peace politician, as his team collect the supporters' signatures needed in order for him to run as a presidential candidate in upcoming elections. "Out of all the possible candidates he is the closest to my ideals" says Maria Feldman. Current President Vladimir Putin will run for a fifth term in the Kremlin with no substantive opposition and in a political environment in which criticism of Moscow's almost two-year military operation in Ukraine is banned. Nadezhdin has spoken out carefully "for peace," and has called Putin's sending of troops a "fatal mistake." IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
