What?

love those old soviet posters that are just advertising like, an activity. not some “go to mike’s hardware for the BEST deals around!” just “hey, you can learn stuff at libraries” or “consider going for a hike in the countryside” big kin

I’d love some examples!!

Caring for birds will increase your fruit harvest!

What are you interested in? The library has many books to match your interests.

Tourism is the best relaxation!

Vitamin C. Vitamins help you to become healthy and strong

Fresh air strengthens health and improves quality of education! (Soviet classroom design, from my personal experience, includes big windows that let in a lot of air and sunshine)

“Do morning exercise”

“Ride the bicycle”

And my all time favourite, “Drink tea.”

can’t let this one remain in the tags

A soviet era power plant control room

i have to tell my mom that putin isn't a communist like every other week

she's like sorry i still think of russia as communist i grew up during the cold war and i was like so you just FORGOT the most significant political event of your lifetime, the dissolution of the soviet union?

So as a reaction to the recently passed anti-gay laws, Russian gay rights activists have taken various Soviet propaganda posters and adapted them into pride posters instead.

Mostly they did this just by putting rainbow flags everywhere.

But I gotta say, a lot of the original Soviet propaganda posters were pretty damn gay already.

These are unedited Sino-Soviet propaganda posters. With their insistent and repetitive slogans of “Always together!” and “Friends forever!” and the aggressive hand-holding and hugging, I gotta say the Russian and Chinese guys in these posters seem like quite the committed couple.

They have kids and everything! Lookit their little blended family.

They love working together, relaxing together, and reading the works of Lenin to each other. On weekends they garden in their matching overalls.

Rainbow flags would almost be superfluous.

Just lads bein’ comrades
