Russian voters go to the polls to choose a president on Sunday, June 16th. The two front-runners are President Boris Yeltsin and the leader of the Communists, Gennady Zyuganov ((gen-NAH-dee zyoo-GAHN-off)). Neither is expected to win outright and will probably face each other in a run-off July 7th. NPR's Anne Garrels reports from Moscow on the media campaign each candidate is waging...a campaign in which Yeltsin has a big advantage.
