Although independent invigilators have long been allowed to attend and observe the Russian elections, it was only in December 2011 that people have really taken the business of monitoring the elections seriously. In the last few days many of them have been coming to Mikhail Prokhorov's headquarters to register as poll stations invigilators. The headquarters are located at the premises of the Central Telegraph in Tverskaya St in Moscow city centre. As Novaya Gazeta reports, the queues are very, very long.
