    This seems to be nostalgic for ‘soviet past’ and ‘great soviet russia’. A.k.a propaganda.

    Calendar is on 25th of October, date when October Revolution happened (old style calendar).

    This is a beginning of Red Terror. And then many years of other terrors USSR condemned throughout the years of its existence.

      Your analysis is like someone looking at a Jackson Pollock painting and commenting that the artist is nostalgic for a period when slavery was legal. In other words complete bullshit.

      A very sad and one-dimensional way to interpret art and life in general.

      The USSR is a great source of not only pride in many of the former bloc countries. It’s also a source of much of their infrastructure, and a reminder to a time when their people were considered a true superpower in science, education and art. Nostalgia is often complicated by a feeling of new ways of being. For this woman, the Marshall amp—a rock and roll status symbol—lies under the gaze of tiny Lenin. How’s she feeling about it all? Apparently not great: her legs seem to melt, and her expression is hollow.
