Civil rights posters in Russia from a former subject of the USSR. The irony :D

This is definitely very cool. I keep hearing interesting stories (the good kind of interesting, that is) coming out of Russia. Wouldn't it be ironic if they ended up being a freer nation than the US in a couple decades?

Wow. There is a cool karmic symmetry here.

Oleg leaves Russia. Applies his talents to civil rights.

Russians use his work to lobby for their civil rights.

There are times I wish I headed off for the Wild East back in the early '90s. Those that I know of who did it swear it was a swell time and place to be. :)

The banner reads "Public political organization 'Civil Arms' for the right to effective self-defense". MicroBalrog got me and them in touch and I supplied some layered Photoshop files to be translated into Russian.

(much slower hi-res versions)
