Monolog street artist returns to challenge the Russian authorities

Barcelona. (Writing and Agencies) .- Monolog has returned to challenge the Russian authorities. This time, the street artist has plagued the capital Moscow billboards appearing in the Russian President Dmitri Medvedev in the skin of Captain America, the famous Marvel comic book hero whose movie opens in Russia on Friday.

Medvedev replaces the poster to Chris Evans, the true protagonist of the film and the advertising copy of the tape has been replaced by «Captain Russia: the first Lord.» Although the Russian president’s position is far from that of his predecessor, Vladimir Putin, as far as bilateral relations with the United States is concerned, the comparison with El Salvador President of America is a challenge.

The authorities have been responsible for removing the posters and note that «it is a prank. Have already been dismantled,» as explained by Vladimir Yakovlev, a spokesman for the Department of Communication and Advertising Moscow, the RIA-Novosti agency.

Is not the first time that a joke in this rebellious artist crosses are the authorities in Moscow. A few months another series of posters depicting Medvedev and Prime Minister Vladimir Putin, dressed in tennis players.

The Russian ship is, by far, the only means to transport astronauts to the International Space Station
MOSCOW, RUSSIA (22/JUL/2011) .- After the end of three decades of U.S. space shuttles, Russia said it will open «The Soyuz was» now the only means to transport astronauts to the International Space Station (ISS) .

«From today (yesterday), begins the era of the Soyuz manned space flight at age of reliability,» said the Russian space agency Roskosmos said in a statement.

There is a simple answer to why Soyuz will still work after the end of the ferry, «reliability, not to mention cost / efficiency,» he said.

Roskosmos expressed his admiration for the shuttle program: «Humanity recognizes the role of U.S. spacecraft in space exploration.»

The program of the U.S. shuttle was overshadowed by two disasters, the ship Columbia, which broke out in 2003 and the Challenger in 1986 – which resulted in the deaths of 14 crew.

The Soyuz program also suffered two accidents, both for decades, even under the Soviet Union. The mission of the Soyuz-1 in 1967 crashed, killing cosmonaut Vladimir Komarov. Meanwhile, the three astronauts killed in Soyuz-11 1971 when his capsule was depressurized in space.

The Russian Soyuz capsule carrying and crew, less spectacular than the horizontal shuttle landing U.S. has changed little since the Russian Yuri Gagarin was the first man in space in 1961
