1 - This is bullshit - if it is Komsomolskaya Pravda reporting. There is no truth (Pravda) in those "Pravda" words. It was a prominent Komsomol newspaper in Soviet times (I remember it when I was a Pioneer :p), but now it has shitted to yellow.

2 - Alexander Kharchevskiy will soon be disqualified as a pilot, yes. But not fo moral or professional issues, but age and transfer to a new position (Gagarin/Zhukovskiy-named AF Academy Chief).
