Several Russian opposition figures have vowed to put up a fight against President Vladimir Putin as he seeks yet another term in office.

Thousands of people have been queuing across Russia to give their support to the liberal politician, Boris Nadezhdin in his bid to oust Vladimir Putin and become the next Russian President.

To stand as a candidate in the election on March 17th, Nadezhdin needs 100 thousand signatures from voters across the country.
