Russian nationals formed long queues outside Moscow's embassy in Paris on Sunday to cast their vote on the final day of elections set to extend President Vladimir Putin's rule.

Thousands of voters gathered in the rain outside the Paris embassy where opponents of Putin had called for a protest in memory of late opposition leader Alexei Navalny.
