Treason in Russia: Extraterrestrials to Blame?

Russian regional president Kirsan Ilyumzhinov claims he was abducted by aliens. Now, a Russian MP has asked President Dmitry Medvedev to investigate his claims to make sure he didn't give any state secrets to the space visitors.

In his letter he says that - assuming the whole thing was not just a bad joke - it was an historic event and should have been reported to the Kremlin.

Just some Friday fun to remind everyone that, while things look bleak in our political system sometimes, we still aren't the Russians.
