United Rocket and Space Corp (URSC -- or is there a Russian acronym?) is apparently in control as noted above. Consolidation of this industry under a former KGB official will potentially secure the change needed internally. Hope for the best in external relations...

All mergers and consolidation into single entity URSC (ОРКК) is to be"fully" complete by 2016.

Shocked..! Shocked I am..!

It's hard to believe there is corruption in the country that brought us a $50 billion dollar Winter Olympics. 😏

Hmmm, I had thought that once Roscosmos was merged with URSC the new entity was going to be called Roscosmos State Corporation...

I can't imagine that the official revealing of corruption in Roscosmos would change these plans. It's not as is everyone didn't already know that there was rampant corruption.
