Boris Nadezhdin, 60, sparked queues all over Russia in January when supporters submitted signatures so he could be registered as an official candidate in the presidential election. On Wednesday, he handed in more than the 100,000 required signatures to the Central Election Commission, which is expected to rule next week on whether he will be allowed to stand.

Now his hopes of challenging the current president could be dashed by claims that the signatures are from deceased individuals.
