Young women in Russia have been encouraged to strip to show their support for Vladimir Putin to become the country's next president.

The campaign in support of the current Russian Prime Minister was started by a website called Putin's Army, Reuters reports.

Girls who strip on video in time for the March 2012 presidential vote are automatically entered in a competition to win an Apple iPad 2, according to the Russian website.

Putin's Army currently contains a video of blonde student Diana on the streets of Moscow writing "I will tear my clothes off for Putin" with red lipstick on her top before starting to take off her clothes.

Putin's Army said on a social networking website: "The goal: for Putin to be president!"

Putin was president of Russia from 2000 to 2008. He then became the Russian Prime Minister when he was ineligible to run for a third consecutive term as president.
