October Revolution Week, Day 9!

Well, I figured I'd run this one a little later in the day, because our semi-quasi-occasional guest contributer, one Flex Flexerson, has thrown down a gauntlet.

So, I bring you the final installment of October Revolution Week +2 Days:

After yesterday's odd Yakov Smirnov-Beatles mashup joke, I just couldn't, in good conscience, make a Revolution #9 joke today.
"As you sow, so shall you reap."

Okay, apparently it literally translates as "What you sow, that you harvest," but that sounds like it was translated by a machine.

Thanks, Mark. I think I've finally squeezed all the Hitler I could out of this link.

October Revolution Week, Day 8!

"In Russia, Week Has Eight Days of You!"

Ugh. I apologize for that.

Anyhoo, moving on to more of this NOT IN ANY WAY A BAYONET WEEK, we have another one from our old friend(s) Kukryniksy:

Silly Russians. Hitler didn't *have* a heart.

"Strike in his heart!"

And strike in my heart they did.

Mark carpetbombed my heart when he sent me this link.

October Revolution Week, Day 7!

Well, Adolf: it turns out you actually are their stepping stone.

'Tommy Gun! Ivan ain't happy unless he's got one!'

"Allies With Us"

This dynamic representation of the Yalta Conference was in that magical link Mark provided.

October Revolution Week, Day 6!

That's right. Despite evidence to the contrary, this is October Revolution Week, NOT Bayonet Week, part deux.

What is that, a haiku?

"Our blows become stronger every day,
East will be Hitler's grave, and West will be his trap."

Once again, I restate: Mark, who is CLEARLY an avowed Communist who hates the troops, provided the link for this.

October Revolution Week, Day 4?

Yeah, I know I haven't called it that yet, but it's October, and I've been tossing out Russian Propaganda Posters like it's my job.

God how I wish it were my job.

Look, the original Bayonet Fortnight aged me ten years. Don't put me through that again!

This one has the benefit of also doubling as a bayonet picture (I am NOT doing another week of those..).

The poster translates as "Decisive Step." If Hitler really was deciding to step into a whole mess o' bayonets, I sure as hell wouldn't stop him.

Thanks to Mark. Like all the posters this week, it's from this link he sent me.

Impromptu Propaganda Poster Week, Day 3!

Man, say what you will about the Russkies, they had kickass propaganda posters back in the day:

'No Bpary,' indeed.
Translation: Every Hit of the Hammer is a Hit on the Enemy

Alternate Translation: Big Red Dude Bombs the Hell Out of Hitler With a Magic Anvil.

Thanks to Mark for discovering this link.

Not Actually A Punch...

Unofficial Russian Propaganda Poster Week enters its second day with this:

Albert Einstien is William H. Macy in 'The Josef Stalin Story.
Translation: Take This!

He's not actually punching Hitler, just shooting the figs at him. But we know what's coming, don't we?

I'm probably going to turn this into a theme week, even if the week started on Friday. After all, it's October, so I guess we can honor the October Revolution or something.

Both rcs and Mark sent this in. I assume the both found it here.

I'm Tired Of Phoning It In...

I wanna MAKE WITH THE PUNCHES!

This is one fist away from being the best version of Hungry, Hungry Hippos EVER.
Translation: Blows From Three Sides Will Finish Fascist Germany

Alternate Translation: Fuck. Yes.

Also: I want those Soviet cufflinks.

Thanks to Mark, who found this slab o' rad here.
