Is Russia’s ‘Sputnik V’ safe?

People remember Sputnik V, which was the first orbital satellite launched by the Soviet Union in 1957 and set off the global space race. 

USSR beat the America By launching Sputnik in 1957 in space race. Now, Russian President Vladimir Putin has named ‘Sputnik V’ as the first Covid-19 vaccine and claimed to win vaccine race. Did Russia compromise the necessary steps in order to come up with first Covid-19 vaccine?


The trials for Sputnik V began on June 18th. Reportedly, Russia has conducted it’s trials on less than 100 volunteers. As per WHO guidelines, it will take 10 years period to come out effective vaccine. When we see the urgency of today’s world 10 years period is too long that doesn’t mean to produce the vaccine with shortcuts. How can the Russia produce the vaccine within 2 months? Though Putin denied, Russia skips some required procedures to follow in preparing the vaccine.


Every vaccine should go through pre-clinical trials on animals and three stages of testing on humans before it goes out for mass production. It seems that Russia has not yet started third stage trials on Sputnik V. Putin said regulatory approval granted for Sputnik V after less than 2 months of human testing. Putin reiterated that the vaccine gone through all necessary checks. WHO said that only 6 vaccines have reached Phase 3 of human trials. Sputnik V is not among in 6 vaccines. Russia’s fast track approach in finding the vaccine has left many doubts to the world.

Producers demand 18 crores for Ceded for Pavan and Trivikram film

Director Rajamouli showed the path to all other producers on how to sell product (movie) in different ways across the word. Telugu Cinema has vertically divided in two ways Before and after Bahubali. Bahubali proves that there were no boundaries in selling the movie. Other producers who are doing with star heros like Pavan, Mahesh and Jr. NTR will follow Rajamouli in this regard. But there is slight difference with Bahubali and other heros films. Unfortunately, producers and distributors fail to notice the gap. Bahubali is universal movie which was apt to all sections in the world. That is the reason for getting huge collections across the world.
