About The Cover

The issue's unique, specially commissioned cover cheekily combines the "space" theme with the most iconic and controversial Russian artwork of 2007: the image of two policemen embracing in a snowy forest, entitled An Era of Mercy.

Two of Russia's top male models were used in the shoot – as well as a real spacesuit, worn in space, on loan from the Museum of Cosmonautics.
