Russia dissident tries to cause election upset

Описание: http://www.euronews.net/ Jailed Kremlin critic Mikhail Khodorkovsky is urging voters to force Vladimir Putin into a second round run-off in Sunday's presidential election.

The Prime Minister is seen as the clear favourite, but Khodorkovsky believes Putin's 'monopoly on power' will be damaged if he has to fight a second round.

Opposition has been growing since allegations of vote-rigging in December's parliamentary election, with a series of protests across Russia.
