A policeman detains a man wearing a costume at a polling station in St. Petersburg, December 2, 2007. Russians voted on Sunday in a parliamentary election widely viewed as a referendum on President Vladimir Putin and overshadowed by opposition accusations that pro-Kremlin forces enjoy an unfair advantage. The costume reads: 'No matter how you vote, you get PU' (PU -- First two letters of the name of Russia's President Vladimir Putin) REUTERS/Alexander Demianchuk (RUSSIA)
