Sun, 4 Mar 2012, 14:28 GMT+3 - Chechnya "They are stealing our votes," said Valentin Gorshun, a patient in Moscow hospital number 19, where more than 90 percent of votes went to United Russia party in December.
"It is probably the same at all hospitals," he said. "I think they are preparing a huge falsification. Emperor Putin has decided everything."
Some state employees in the southern Chechnya region, where Putin's party won more than 99 percent support in December, said they had been ordered by officials to vote for Putin.
"I came here ... because we were forced to come here and vote for Putin," said Zarf, who did not give her last name.
Elmira, a 27-year-old resident of Chechnya who also declined to give her name because she feared repercussions, said she had been told to round up people to vote for Putin. "We were told to bring 10 people each to the voting. I have overachieved the plan," she said.
