Teach yourself Russian

Re-posted from a comment by [livejournal.com profile] toothycat...

This is really bizarre. Soviet era bizarreness. Gorgeous. I just wonder what native Russian speakers out there make of this...?

I want to be an ударник. Definitely not a безделник, with all the pencil stealing and the misbehaviour in parks and everything...

Neat, right down to the font. It can't be for real, surely? I would like to see 'Goodbye Lenin', supposedly treating of more soviet-era nostalgia. Or read John le Carre.

How about The Gulag Archipelago?

Real or not, it is brilliant. It actually could be real -- it does fit with what I've seen of Russian humour. I don't really care either way. It's superb.
