Chris Evans

American actor Chris Evans's filmography has spanned multiple productions since his first screen performance in 1997. After making his acting debut in an educational film co-produced by the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation, Evans acted in several teen comedies, including Not Another Teen Movie and The Perfect Score. He portrayed the superhero Human Torch in the 2005 film Fantastic Four and its 2007 sequel, Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer. It would be the first of many roles in films adapted from comic books for Evans; his most prolific role in the genre would be as Steve Rogers (Captain America) in the Marvel Cinematic Universe series of films, where he has made credited appearances and cameos as the character in eleven films and one video game. Though comic book films have formed the bulk of Evans's filmography since the mid-2000s, he has concurrently acted in a range of non-comic book projects, notably Sunshine, Knives Out, and the Broadway revival of Lobby Hero.

Lenin

Lenin, a Soviet nuclear-powered icebreaker, was both the world's first nuclear-powered surface ship and the first nuclear-powered civilian vessel. The ship entered operation in 1959 and worked to clear sea routes for cargo ships along Russia's northern coast. Nuclear power proved to be an ideal technology for a vessel working in such a remote area, as it obviated the need for regular replenishment of fuel. From 1960 to 1965, the ship covered over 85,000 mi (137,000 km) during the Arctic navigation season, of which three-quarters was through ice. After being decommissioned in 1989, the vessel was subsequently converted into a museum ship and is now permanently based at Murmansk.
