The mayor of Kiev in the Ukraine is referred to as "the cosmonaut" by his constituents who asked that he receive a mental health examination for some of his policies. He could be looking for work soon and I hate to let an opportunity like this pass without at least exploring the possibility.
"Leonid Chernovetsky’s constituents call him “the cosmonaut” for his bizarre ideas, including erecting a giant cow statue and a monument honoring street lights"...In particular, residents of Kiev have been worried by recent media reports suggesting that he planned to levy taxes on such items as satellite dishes and air-conditioners, and charge an entry fee to communal graveyards...The commission was set up to investigate alleged violations of the constitution, laws, and recent decisions taken by Kiev city council." click on the quote to go to stories in The Week and The BBC
