Robert talks with NPR's Anne Garrels in Moscow about tomorrow's presidential run-off election. There is no campaigning today; Russian election law forbids it. Polls open Wednesday morning at 8 a.m. local time and close at 10 p.m. There are 93-thousand polling stations spread across Russia's 11 time zones. Russian President Boris Yeltsin is facing Communist Gennady Zyuganov ((gen-NAH-dee zyu-GAH-noff)). The campaign has been overshadowed by questions about Yeltsin's health, and yesterday, Yeltsin re-appeared after a five-day absence from public appearances. Since then he has remained at home...his aides say he is working on documents.
