Well, maybe THIS will kickstart

The Space Race again.

RIA Novosti - Russia - Russia to send manned mission to the Moon by 2025 - space agency

MOSCOW, August 31 (RIA Novosti) - Russia plans to send cosmonauts to the Moon by 2025 and establish a permanent manned base there in 2027-2032, the head of the space agency said Friday.
Anatoly Perminov said that in accordance with Russia's space program through 2040, a manned flight to Mars will be carried out after 2035.

He said that toward the end of this year, Russia will have 103 satellites in orbit, up from the current 95.

Though it seems odd that a country as strapped for cash as Russia is would do this. National presteige, however, has little to do with common sense.

I wonder how long it'll be before they stop cooperating with NASA for Space Station supply shots?
