Russia is looking at Steven
Seagal to be the face of its weapons industry as it guns for first place on the
world arms market.
Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry
Rogozin said the action movie star may head up an international marketing
campaign to promote the Degtarev arms plant, Russian news agencies reported. He
accompanied Seagal on a visit there Tuesday.
"You're ready to fight American
(manufacturers) with your teeth and your intellect, and if Americans are
prepared to promote and support you, that says we're learning new ways to work
on corporate warfare markets," Rogozin said.
Russian officials are big fans of
Seagal, who met President Vladimir Putin in March and claimed to have set up a
meeting with Rogozin for a Congressional delegation last week.
