Illustration is OG wojak but substance is OG cereal guy.
He (Soviet power) will never last more than 2 weeks!
(Soviet system celebrates 15 years)
👏
Hahaha this is actually amazing.
I’d love a translation, Cyrillic cursive is hard to read.
On the left it says something like “Soviet authority will only last two weeks!” and then on the right it says “15 YEARS - the USSR is finally established on the path to socialism”
It isn’t really cursive Cyrillic so much as just italic Cyrillic. I struggled with reading italics for a good while too, but eventually you get the hang of it.
Edit: Oh and the heads on the left are labeled “monarchist”, “cadet”, “eser”, and “menshevik”.
Thank you!

Boot brain was a problem back then too.
“Boot brain” as in a fondness for licking boots due to a lifetime of propaganda…?
Yeah.
Ahhh, yes the mensheviks. The majority which name was the russian word for minority
At the moment of separation of RSDRP mensheviks were in fact a minority of the party. And intersting enough, it’s not the given name, that’s what they named their faction after bolsheviks came up with their name.
They were minority nearly all time among the workers and party supporters in Russia. Mensheviks did attained majority in party congresses several times, but it’s because they were usually happening outside Russia and mensheviks certainly had majority among the emmigrant inteligentsia. For example once they got a majority for few years because most bolshevik memebers of Central Comitte were arrested in Russia - something that was not happening to the mensheviks since they weren’t in Russia.
They also didn’t had the majority during the October Revolution. They did, but only together with SR’s, during the February Revolution, but in subsequent months they squandered it by not fullfilling even the most basic promises of that revolution.
It doesn’t even need to be cursive.
