Russias former area chief Dmitry Rogozin on Tuesday threatened to send out a group of young comics to the war in Ukraine after they mocked his Ph.D.
dissertation on a popular television show.Rogozin said he was sent out a clip from a recent broadcast of the long-running KVN comedy game show, where groups contend for the title of Russias funniest and most inventive club.In the sketch that drew his ire, a member of a St.
Petersburg team joked that Rogozin had actually composed in his dissertation that a person does not switch the cosmos for a chick.Well take them to the front line and wish them good luck in fight, Rogozin composed on his Telegram channel, referring to the comics.
And when they return, well laugh together at their unfortunate, unfunny and vulgar joke.Rogozin, a nationalist political leader and outspoken advocate of Russias invasion of Ukraine, worked as head of the Roscosmos area agency from 2018 to 2022.
He formerly held posts as deputy prime minister and Russias envoy to NATO.During his profession, he earned a Ph.D.
in engineering with a focus on weapons theory.In his post, Rogozin claimed to know which military enlistment office the KVN staff member are signed up with and said he was awaiting the name of their joke writer, whom he described as a talentless punk.Well teach them whatever, including a funny bone, Rogozin wrote.However, later on Wednesday, he backtracked on his risk, saying that the comediansare of no interest to us due to their intellectual immaturity.They may benefit ridiculous jokes, however not for protecting the Motherland, Rogozin wrote.Since the start of Russias major intrusion of Ukraine in 2022, sending out young men to the front as penalty for perceived offenses has actually become an increasingly common threat.
