(Reuters) - A presidential campaign poster for Russia's Prime Minister Vladimir Putin is on display in Togliatti February 24, 2012. Putin peers sanguinely down from a large billboard beside the road leading into Russia's biggest car plant, in the city of Togliatti, on the Volga. The campaign poster depicts Putin standing coolly in sun glasses next to the AvtoVAZ factory's newest product, the Lada Granta, and says the plant is backing his bid to return to the presidency in an election on Sunday. The board reads "For! Russia. Togliatti. Car plant". Picture taken February 24, 2012. REUTERS/Lidia Kelly (RUSSIA - Tags: POLITICS ELECTIONS TRANSPORT) -
