President Vladimir Putin rejected a second lockdown in favor of prioritizing the economy when infections surged last year.

Moscow has resorted to offering gift cards worth 1,000 rubles ($13) to motivate people aged over 60 to get their shots.

Putin has touted Russia’s Sputnik V vaccine as a world leader, though domestic uptake lags and only about 8% of the population has received a dose.
