The image displays a museum exhibit within the B. N. Yeltsin Presidential Center, located in Yekaterinburg, Russia. The exhibit is presented in a glass display case with a dark brown wooden base. The central subject is an authentic-looking election ballot (ИЗБИРАТЕЛЬНЫЙ БЮЛЛЕТЕНЬ) from the presidential elections of the RSFSR on June 12, 1991. The ballot, printed on beige paper with black text, lists six candidates for President of the RSFSR in a left column: Vadim Bakatin, Boris Yeltsin, Vladimir Zhirinovsky, Albert Makashov, Nikolai Ryzhkov, and Aman-Geldy Tuleev. Each name is accompanied by a birth year and a brief description of their position or affiliation. The right column lists six candidates for Vice-President of the RSFSR: Ramazan Abdulatipov, Alexander Rutskoi, Andrey Zavidia, Alexey Sergeev, Boris Gromov, and Viktor Bocharov. Instructions at the top direct voters to leave only the surname of their chosen presidential candidate; ballots with more than one candidate left unchecked are declared invalid. Below the ballot, a folded open document features a black-ink line drawing on beige paper. The illustration depicts two hands casting a folded ballot, which visibly lists the surnames of the presidential candidates, into a ballot box marked with the year "1991." Below this drawing, a Russian inscription reads: "И в Москве, и в Перми и в Тамбове. Знаем сами кого нам избрать!" (And in Moscow, and in Perm, and in Tambov. We ourselves know whom to elect!). To the left of these documents, on the wooden base, two black plaques provide context. The upper plaque identifies the main document as an "Избирательный бюллетень для голосования на выборах президента РСФСР 12 июня 1991 г. Архив Президентского центра Б. Н. Ельцина" (Election ballot for voting in the presidential elections of the RSFSR on June 12, 1991. Archive of B. N. Yeltsin Presidential Center). A second, partially visible black plaque is situated below the first. A green pencil with a black tip rests on the wooden base to the right of the cartoon document, simulating a voting instrument. The glass casing reflects ambient lighting from above, indicating an indoor, illuminated exhibition space.
