Hello, Thomas

Here is the site of Vladimir Putin for the presidential elections on 23
March - http://www.putin2000.ru/
If you want to find something about him not as the presidential candidate,
but as the state official, try http://government.gov.ru (it is the English
version of the government site).

Very interesting is the http://www.26marta.com/english - "This is a new
Internet project co-founded by the Russian Institute, the newspaper
Nezavisimaya Gazeta, the Public Opinion Foundation, the Foundation for
Effective Policies and a group of independent experts. This site will
publish updates on exit poll results as from 9:00 in the morning on March
26. Exit polls will be conducted in the territory of Russia from the
Kamchatka Peninsula in the Far East to Kaliningrad in the West. Their
purpose is to assess how many votes were cast for each individual candidate
or against all candidates.
The polling stations have been selected on a territorial principle offered
by the Public Opinion Foundation. It represents the number of adult
population in more than 250 cities and villages in 64 constituent parts of
the Russian Federation. A total of 80,000 respondents will be covered by
the exit polls.
The Federal Law "On Election of the President of the Russian Federation"
forbids their publication in the mass media from Thursday to Sunday evening
on March 26. Exit poll results will be dispatched by e-mail on subscription
and will also be placed at site www.vvp.ru for private use only."

You can also visit the http://english.fom.ru - this is the english page of
the Public Opinion Foundation - one of the best public opinion research
institutions in Russia.

Maybe you have already heard about these sites and their addresses were
already published in russian-studies.  I am new member of this list -
please forgive me in this case.

Best wishes,
