Cyrillic in the mirror
If you are a social bookmarking sites fan, you should already know this creative poster for Russian Bear vodka. When you look at this poster normally, you’ll just see some random communist propaganda and may not even notice that it is not russian if you can’t read cyrillic characters. If you look at it in the mirror, which you probably will if you wash your hands, you’ll see that it is actually sending a message in english telling you not to drink and drive, pretty awkward for a vodka commercial.

That is not Ukrainian. That’s random Cyrillic characters without sens. I’m from Ukraine and i know Russian and Ukrainian both.

it’s only meant to look like russian…that’s the whole idea of the poster. that it should resemble some sort of communist propaganda but it is not trying to communicate anything in russian just give that overall look by using characters that have such an appearance.
