Oppose Why PDF? It's a rather strange format for a picture. The oppose is because the very modern-looking fence is spoiling the air of historical reenactment, plus the old CCCP knew how to make sturdy stuff and would never have accepted such a bent flimsy flag pole on a propaganda poster. This was more their style. ;-) --Cart (talk) 19:19, 15 January 2020 (UTC)- Oppose I just can’t see why this should be among our very best. The photographic skill in it is not overwhelming. --Kreuzschnabel 21:17, 15 January 2020 (UTC)
- Info As a Russian speaker, should mention that reading that text is physically and mentally painful --Andrei (talk) 21:53, 15 January 2020 (UTC)
- That's because it's French. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 00:16, 16 January 2020 (UTC)
Comment Maybe it reads, "Go stick your head in a pig" in Russian. On using foreign glyphs, some don’t always consider it’d actually make unwanted sense. --Kreuzschnabel 08:19, 16 January 2020 (UTC)- I can relate to the cringeworthiness of seeing an alphabet you know so well being contorted as a font for another. It's like when someone uses the dots and rings in Swedish (å ä ö) to make something look "cool" but only end up looking like complete dorks to a native user of those letters. --Cart (talk) 10:41, 16 January 2020 (UTC)
- +1 from a German. The other way round is not much better, though ... --El Grafo (talk) 17:09, 16 January 2020 (UTC)
- He-he, FYI adding the "Swedish dots" transform the band name into Swedish dialects associated with sort of dumb forest hillbillies with no education often used as characters in base comedies and sketches. If only the bands knew... --Cart (talk) 17:28, 16 January 2020 (UTC)
- Oppose OK, I must admit that guy looks just like he's posing for a cold war propaganda poster. Even the general direction of this edit makes sense, it wants to be used as the base for an en:Image macro of sorts. But the whole background is distracting and the text is a bit ... uninspired. If you'd just cut out the guy, place him on an empty background, and let the meming communities of the interwebz have a go at it, I'm sure somebody would come up with something hilarious - but this is not it. Also: PDF. --El Grafo (talk) 09:17, 16 January 2020 (UTC)
- Oppose per others. Daniel Case (talk) 04:41, 19 January 2020 (UTC)
