普京化身漫畫英雄 大戰殭屍拯救乘客

Russia's Vladimir Putin saves the dayas a martial artssuperhero in a comic strip spreading on the Russian Internet, where he teams up with bearskin-wearing sidekickDmitry Medvedev.

一部以俄羅斯總理弗拉基米爾 普京爲主角的連環漫畫近日在俄羅斯網上流傳。普京在漫畫中化身爲一位武藝高超的超級英雄，和一身熊皮裝扮的搭檔德米特里 梅德韋傑夫一起並肩作戰。

The comic strip, apparently the first in a series about "Super Putin, Man Like Any Other" is available on and is set in Moscow "one year before the end of the world."

該連環漫畫系列主題爲“超級普京——與其他人一樣”，目前第一期已登載在網站上，背景爲“世界末日”前一年的莫斯科。

Russia will choose its next president in 2012 and observers have their eyes peeledfor any indication of whether current President Medvedev or Prime Minister Putin will seek the six-year-term as head of the country.

俄羅斯將於2012年舉行總統大選，觀察家正密切注意現任總統梅德韋傑夫或者總理普京是否將競選下屆任期六年的總統。

Although one of the strip's creators said it was drawn by pro bonoartists, some Internet users hinted darklythat it may be a part of a behind-the-scenes campaign or was even commissioned by the Kremlin.

儘管漫畫的創作者之一表示漫畫是由公益藝術家創作的，但一些網友仍隱晦地指出，這也許是幕後競選活動的一部分，甚至是克林姆林宮指使的。

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.

漫畫的情節主線類似於上世紀90年代美國動作片《生死時速》，普京一身和服打扮，據稱性格類似北歐人，他在一次炸彈爆炸來臨前拯救了一輛巴士中的衆多民衆。

"I will go no slower than 80 km/h," Putin says, gritting his teeth.

普京咬緊牙關說：“時速不會低於80公里。”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.

在飛速前行時，普京還得到了“納米人”梅德韋傑夫的幫助。梅德韋傑夫拉開令人畏懼的熊皮衣，掏出一部可以自動前行的iPad解除了爆炸裝置。

The strip pokes fun atPutin's judo hobby and Medvedev's penchant for technological gadgets.

漫畫拿普京的柔道愛好和梅德韋傑夫對科技產品的喜愛開起了玩笑。

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.

巴士隨後被一羣殭屍襲擊，還喊道：“讓我們選出統治者吧！”和“自由的霍多爾科夫斯基（譯者注：俄羅斯寡頭，因貪污洗錢罪被判刑）！”在最後一個場景中，普京直面殭屍作戰。The strip's writer Sergei Kalenik said it took two weeks to create and was not a paid project.

漫畫家謝爾蓋 卡列尼克稱創作耗時兩週，沒有人爲此出錢。

"We wanted to stir Russia's depressing political scene and create some dialogue," he told the reporters..

他告訴記者：“我們想給俄羅斯沉悶的政治舞臺增添一點趣味，創造一些話題。”

He said some media outlets had refused to publish the strip because it refers to Medvedev as a "gnome".

他表示由於梅德韋傑夫在漫畫中被描述爲“侏儒”，某些媒體拒絕出版。
