(Snip) "MOSCOW (Reuters) - Russian police have launched a hunt for a political rival of President Vladimir Putin set to challenge him in forthcoming elections after his wife reported him missing since Thursday night. Ivan Rybkin, a strong critic of Putin, is one of a finalised list of candidates for a March 14 election which Putin is widely expected to win easily, securing a second term in the Kremlin." (End Snip)

There are no "elections" in Russia.
