Kptlt. Hellmut Neuerburg, thanks for sharing! Those posters are priceless these days.
According to "Fight Club", I suppose if they were American posters - the accident victims would be painted smiling :)

A fan is a friend of labor. Let it work forever

Tempted to print this one out and put it up at work...although with the amount of Eastern Europeans who work where I do...the joke might not get across... :hmmm:

These are great :D

Check some of the other links for poster series at the bottom of that page - they're all also fantastic in their own right!

Actually, the label on the bottle says it's an ACID ;-)

Kislot, slovene kislina.
I'll never get around how similar the languages are :03:

After seeing those posters, one is left with the impression either the Soviets were exceedingly accident prone or were impervious to obvious thought patterns...

Oh, wait, the second may explain Putin...

It's called a typical Slavic stubbornness in the face of physical laws and higher powers. :03:

Actually "KISLOTA" - a letter "A" is hidden behind a guy's back :-)

In Russian it's also a feminine gender noun ;-)

Or, if at first you don't succeed, hit it with a hammer until you do. :rock:

I was thinking kind of self explanatory even if you can not read Cyrillic that it must be something that you do not want touching your body.

I like this one based on my expert skills at translating Russian it says "Nice trip see you next fall"

Mind you the yanks were almost as obvious with some of their health and safety posters:
