Russia's Communist Party leader Gennady Zyuganov whose son, Leonid Zyuganov, is running for Moscow's Mayor office, voted on Sunday at one of the capital's polling stations.
Gennady Zyuganov was accompanied by Leonid at the polling station.
After he voted, Zyuganov spoke to reporters outside the polling station.
Zyuganov referred to the presidential election that is expected to take place in the spring of 2024.
"In my opinion, the upcoming presidential elections are of an extremely responsible nature. We will do everything to ensure that they will be held with dignity and fairness," Zyuganov noted.
