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.

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

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

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"

I've got You of course ;-) Your variant is better than original one: "Faulty gangways are dangerous ! " ))

Or "Try not to drop the package next time"
