Dmitry Rogozin, ex-chief of Russia's space agency Roscosmos and currently a senator representing the annexed Zaporizhzhia territory, has warned he could deploy members of the comedy troupe "Negoden" to combat zones after they mocked his academic dissertation. The politician shared a clip from their KVN performance on his Telegram account.
The satirical remark targeting Rogozin appeared in a sketch titled "Dialogue Between a Cosmonaut and His Superior": - "Sir, I'm staying behind - I've met someone special here." - "Son, have you lost your mind? You don't exchange orbital missions for romance." - "Who came up with that rule?" - "It's straight from Rogozin's PhD dissertation."
