Super Putin, Man Like Any Other
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.
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 AFP. He said some media outlets had refused to publish the strip because it refers to Medvedev as a “gnome”.Russia’s Putin, Medvedev become cartoon superheroes, AFP, May 21, 2011
Bear Medvedev
On the Runet, Medvedev is sometimes associated with the Medved meme, linked to padonki slang, which resulted in many ironical and satirical writings and cartoons that blend Medvedev with a bear. (The word medved means “bear” in Russian and the surname “Medvedev” is a patronymic which means “bear’s”). Medvedev is familiar with this phenomenon and takes no offence, stating that the web meme has the right to exist.
