Theatre posters proclaiming "We await you, merry gnome" were taken down from a Russian town shortly before a visit by the country's diminutive president Dmitry Medvedev, a local website reported on Friday.                                           

The advertisements were for a children's theatre show, but were removed from a street that the president's convoy was due to use on his visit to Omsk on Feb 12, the nr2.ru website reports, citing local sources.                                           

Russian media say Medvedev is 1.62 m (5 ft 4 in) tall.                                            

The poster depicted a child fairy but was one of a number of sudden renovation projects that took place ahead of the Medvedev's visit, it reported, quoting bloggers and journalists.                                           

The authorities recommended that fresh snow should be sprinkled over older dirty snow as part of the facelift, it said.
