It's highly likely that Vladimir Putin will receive over 50 per cent of tomorrow's vote and therefore be elected outright new President of the Russian Federation.
The former KGB official in Dresden, former head of the FSB will begin his thrid term as President of Russia.
Putin, born in then Leningrad, knew neither of his older brothers as they died in childhood. His father was injured as a soldier in the Great Patriotic War. He studied law at the University of St Petersburg.
In 2001 Putin addressed the Bundestag - in German.
This evening television cameras showed him visiting an Orthodox church.
