Russia's Vladimir Putin saves the day as a martial arts superhero in a comic strip spreading on the Russian Internet, where he teams up with bearskin-wearing sidekick Dmitry Medvedev. The comic strip, apparently the first in a series about "Super Putin, Man Like Any Other" is available on www.superputin.ru and is set in Moscow "one year before the end of the world." Russia will choose its next president in 2012 and observers have their eyes peeled for any indication of whether current President Medvedev or Prime Minister Putin will seek the six-year-term as head of the country. Although one of the strip's creators said it was drawn by pro bono artists, some Internet users hinted darkly that it may be a part of a behind-the-scenes campaign or was even commissioned by the Kremlin. With a plot line resembling the 1990s US action film "Speed", the strip shows a kimono-wearing Putin -- described as a man "with a Nordic character" -- save a busload of people from a bomb blast. "I will go no slower than 80 km/h," Putin says, gritting his teeth. As he speeds ahead, he receives help from "nano-human" Medvedev, who unzips a frightening bear costume and sends a crawling iPad to deactivate the explosive. The strip pokes fun at Putin's judo hobby and Medvedev's penchant for technological gadgets. The bus is then attacked by a crowd of zombies that scream "Let us elect governors!" and "Free Khodorkovsky!" with Putin facing them in the final act. The strip's writer Sergei Kalenik said it took two weeks to create and was not a paid project. "We wanted to stir Russia's depressing political scene and create some dialogue," he told the reporters.. He said some media outlets had refused to publish the strip because it refers to Medvedev as a "gnome". (Read by Nelly Min. Nelly Min is a journalist at the China Daily Website.) (Agencies)

一部以俄羅斯總理弗拉基米爾?普京為主角的連環(huán)漫畫(huà)近日在俄羅斯網(wǎng)上流傳。普京在漫畫(huà)中化身為一位武藝高超的超級(jí)英雄，和一身熊皮裝扮的搭檔德米特里?梅德韋杰夫一起并肩作戰(zhàn)。 該連環(huán)漫畫(huà)系列主題為“超級(jí)普京——與其他人一樣”，目前第一期已登載在www.superputin.ru網(wǎng)站上，背景為“世界末日”前一年的莫斯科。 俄羅斯將于2012年舉行總統(tǒng)大選，觀察家正密切注意現(xiàn)任總統(tǒng)梅德韋杰夫或者總理普京是否將競(jìng)選下屆任期六年的總統(tǒng)。 盡管漫畫(huà)的創(chuàng)作者之一表示漫畫(huà)是由公益藝術(shù)家創(chuàng)作的，但一些網(wǎng)友仍隱晦地指出，這也許是幕后競(jìng)選活動(dòng)的一部分，甚至是克林姆林宮指使的。 漫畫(huà)的情節(jié)主線類(lèi)似于上世紀(jì)90年代美國(guó)動(dòng)作片《生死時(shí)速》，普京一身和服打扮，據(jù)稱(chēng)性格類(lèi)似北歐人，他在一次炸彈爆炸來(lái)臨前拯救了一輛巴士中的眾多民眾。 普京咬緊牙關(guān)說(shuō)：“時(shí)速不會(huì)低于80公里?！?/p> 在飛速前行時(shí)，普京還得到了“納米人”梅德韋杰夫的幫助。梅德韋杰夫拉開(kāi)令人畏懼的熊皮衣，掏出一部可以自動(dòng)前行的iPad解除了爆炸裝置。 漫畫(huà)拿普京的柔道愛(ài)好和梅德韋杰夫?qū)萍籍a(chǎn)品的喜愛(ài)開(kāi)起了玩笑。 巴士隨后被一群僵尸襲擊，還喊道：“讓我們選出統(tǒng)治者吧！”和“自由的霍多爾科夫斯基（譯者注：俄羅斯寡頭，因貪污洗錢(qián)罪被判刑）！”在最后一個(gè)場(chǎng)景中，普京直面僵尸作戰(zhàn)。 漫畫(huà)家謝爾蓋?卡列尼克稱(chēng)創(chuàng)作耗時(shí)兩周，沒(méi)有人為此出錢(qián)。 他告訴記者：“我們想給俄羅斯沉悶的政治舞臺(tái)增添一點(diǎn)趣味，創(chuàng)造一些話題?！?/p> 他表示由于梅德韋杰夫在漫畫(huà)中被描述為“侏儒”，某些媒體拒絕出版。 相關(guān)閱讀 普京硬漢形象遭網(wǎng)絡(luò)歌曲調(diào)侃 （中國(guó)日?qǐng)?bào)網(wǎng)英語(yǔ)點(diǎn)津 Julie 編輯： 馮明惠） |
