Voting for the plant symbols of all 85 Russian regions as part of the "Alley of Russia" campaign will end on October 31. The inhabitants of the republic, like all Russians, still have an opportunity to influence the outcome of elections.

At the end of the campaign the alleys of those plants which gain most votes in the Russian regions, will be planted in Sevastopol, on May 9, 2015.
