"Noon Against Putin" (Russian: Полдень против Путина, romanized: Polden protiv Putina) was a peaceful protest on 17 March of the 2024 Russian presidential election, where voters who do not support Vladimir Putin came en masse to polling stations at noon and vote against Putin or spoil the ballot. The protest has been described by the Novaya Gazeta as "Navalny's political testament" as it was the last political statement by prominent Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny prior to his death.
