Who gets the national income?
In capitalist countries - the biggest part goes to exploiters.
In USSR - to the workers.

This is my favourite. :P

Do not blab!

Be heads-up. In these days even walls listen.
Babblement and gossips are too close to betrayal.

The Cyrillic alphabet used by many Slavic languages really helps make the poster stand out. The USSR had some great propoganda artists.

No, that's not what it means. :D This one isn't really easy to translate, as it is a way of expression “One human man”. It would sound strange if I say human-ish but that's a better translation… “One human-ish man”
My Russian sucks by the way!
