According to Irina Sergutko, chairperson of the Kaliningrad regional organisation of the medical workers trade union, voting in the presidential election was 'one of the most important events in the public life' of her region.
"I see how people react to it. And I myself take it very seriously because it is the right and duty of every citizen - to always make their choice," she added.
Sevastopol resident Nikolai Kosyakov said that he voted because he wanted Russian citizens to have a good future.
"Firstly, I consider it a civic duty, and secondly, I really want us and our children to have a good and reliable future. That's why I'm voting for my candidate and I think that we can make it," he explained.
