It comes as polling stations across Russia were hit by a wave of fire and paint attacks on Friday.
It appears the Russians are resisting Putin’s continued gruesome rule at the voting booths by nullifying votes.
Green dye has been poured over hundreds of ballots, while other videos show boxes being set on fire by petrol bombs and even fireworks.
Several Russians have reportedly been arrested for courageous acts of vandalism.
According to state news agency Tass, the majority of the attacks have been reported in Moscow, Voronezh in southern Russia and the Karachay-Cherkessia region in the North Caucasus.
But according to reports, at least ten stations have experienced problems.
One woman was reportedly arrested Moscow for pouring gallons of paint into a ballot box, causing all votes to be lost.
Footage appeared to show the woman sliding a ballot paper through the slot before pouring green liquid over the contents of the transparent box.
Russian media reported that “a criminal case” had been opened against a woman who “poured paint into a ballot box.”
Election authorities in St. Petersburg claimed a woman also threw a petrol bomb near a polling station, starting a fire that was later extinguished.
At another protest, a woman appeared to throw flammable liquid over one of the stalls as it shot up in roaring flames.
The woman happened to be in Moscow and started recording the act on her phone.
Meanwhile, a Molotov cocktail was thrown at a local polling station in St. Petersburg news website Fontanka reports.
Further images showed a Police An officer desperately tried to extinguish a fire at a polling station – in an unknown location – as black smoke filled the room.
And voting soldiers have reportedly scrawled the name “Navalny” on their ballots in support of the late opposition leader – widely considered Putin’s fiercest enemy – Alexei Navalny.
The Russian opposition leader died under mysterious circumstances last month while serving a 19-year prison sentence on trumped-up charges.
Western leaders and members of his camp claim he was ‘killed’ on Putin’s direct orders.
Also yesterday it was reported that a middle-aged woman had emptied dye into a ballot box in Borisoglebsk, a city in Voronezh region.
There were reportedly three other cases of similar vote manipulation.

One woman allegedly poured the dye into a ballot box in Karachay-Cherkessia, while a 62-year-old man reportedly did the same in the village of Samarskoe.
Another woman also poured dye into a ballot box in occupied Crimea, unconfirmed reports say.
Russian news channel Mash reported: “All those detained for damaging ballots are now being monitored for cooperation with Ukrainian special services.”
Some have theorized that the protesters were persuaded to carry out the attacks by telephone scammers working for Ukrainian intelligence services.
VOTE FRAUD
As in Kursk And Rostov regions – bordering Ukraine – there were also unconfirmed reports that disappearing ink pens were provided to voters, allowing ballots to be tampered with later.
A source quoted by the anti-war Telegram channel Sirena said: “The inscription disappears when heated, although the pen looks normal.
“They told everyone to keep quiet and only deliver these pens from the boxes they brought.”
The boxes bore the logo of the Central Election Commission, which some say is biased in favor of Putin.
A video purporting to show the alleged abuse did not show an actual ballot.

There were several reports that state employees were ‘forced’ to vote for the Russian tyrant.
In the Urals, some were locked out of their offices in the cold and ordered to vote before being allowed to go to work.
While in Barnaul and elsewhere in the Altai region, surveillance cameras in polling stations – ostensibly to protect against fraud – were not working.
In the Khorsky settlement of the Khabarovsk region, a suspicious pile of ballots in a box was noticed, as if they had been thrown together.
And in Chukotka, voters in Russia’s easternmost region were given pancakes, which could be seen as an incentive to vote.
There were also claims of abuse in the distribution of ballots that allowed poll workers to visit residents’ homes to obtain their votes.
Exiled journalist Dmitry Kolezev, editor of Republic, said about the conduct of the Russian elections: “At 8 a.m. the polling stations are already full.
“Employees from the school, administration and local gas and energy sales had to vote before starting their work, and they keep lists of those who voted.
‘Such control has never existed in recent years.
“There is a very clear commandment to the heads of organizations – so that all employees vote on Friday – a working day.
“So unfortunately the picture with both the turnout and the support is exactly what they need.”
Stanislav Andreichyuk, from the Golos Election Observation Organization, said: “The first day of voting has started and everything is going exactly as we warned.
“A large number of voters were under duress.”
THE NEXT LEADER OF RUSSIA
Putin appears guaranteed to retain his seat as president, while early Kremlin predictions say Putin will win with around 80 percent of the vote.
The evil tyrant is running as an independent candidate and has the support of United Russia, along with thousands of other top Russian officials.
If Putin were to win, as many predict, he could serve until at least 2030.
Russia has claimed that 37% of voters have already cast their ballots, with two days to go before the polls close.
The three other candidates in the mock elections all support the devastating war in Ukraine.
Although one, Vladislav Davankov, 40, of the New People’s Party, a Kremlin-choreographed group, has negotiated a complete stop to the fighting.
