Thanks

Steve,
Here is a good one from cuprum, not so Central Asian though.

Wow!!!!! You've just transported me back 33 years! I used to have a reproduction of that poster in my study at school. There used to be a Russian bookshop in Elizabeth Street that sold them, along with busts of Lenin, copies of Krokodil etc.  I wonder what ever happened to that poster?

This poster in the Ukrainian language reads: "Join the Red Cavalry".


I think is more appropriate to you this poster.
