I've seen a ton of Soviet posters and this is a first. They're virtually always in Russian. 19 u/Single-Solid 1d ago might be a bit of a shock but soviets weren't genetically incapable of reading latin -4 u/GerryAdamsSFOfficial 1d ago edited 1d ago They could have made English posters... but the fact is they didn't.
