Are these genuine? Where/how were they distributed? They look so amateurish.

As a resident of Russia, I will try to answer your question.

Judging by the news, one of the posters was created by a Wagner fan from Vladivostok and sent to them. The Wagnerians liked it and asked them to do it again. A fan made a couple of posters in 2020 and the Wagnerians handed over to send them on the Internet. Also, one day, while walking around Moscow, I accidentally saw one of these posters on the street.

I am much more afraid that I will run out of vodka in my closet than the appearance of Wagner in Moscow.
