Russia's communist presidential candidate Gennady Zyuganov had another busy day Tuesday (25/6) on the campaign trail. In the morning, he played volleyball with Russian Duma members. Then Zyuganov visited the monument to Sts. Kirill and Methodius, the founders of the cyrillic alphabet, in honor of the Day of the Slavonic Alphabet and Culture.
Zyuganov is trailing in the polls, and is trying to maximise publicity before the key second round of presidential elections on 3 July.

SOT Zyuganov in Russian: "Only stupid people could write like that. People who know nothing of what is happening in the country. In any event there will be a coalition. We are suggesting an honourable way out of the situation, knowing full well that if we can pool the strengths of all level-headed politicians, there's a chance to save the situation. If not, then everything will fall apart and everyone will end up scrapping with each other."
