Made by a Russian who grew up in the USSR?

Too obscure.

I noticed several references to Russian pop culture in there, post-Soviet included. A fun project for sure.

There were a couple I wasn't aware of, but it was obvious from the imagery they were Russian. Like this one (lol):

This one also seems Russian, but not sure what it's for (maybe the "cyber Russia" shorts on Youtube): https://i.imgur.com/yRXrAj5.png

There is also one from Belarus (?) with Gordon Ramsay I never saw before, that one is really obscure: https://i.imgur.com/dvAVeuu.png

......and that's how you waste your first hour at work >_<

I mean, in this case, yes, but I am neither Russian nor a child of the USSR, and I know both Kvass and Kin-dza-dza (which I introduced to my wife, who was born in a post-soviet state). Not all that obscure!

    Interesting. You must be from a CIS (ex-USSR) country then.

      Anywhere there are immigrants from Eastern Europe in the US, you can find Kvass. It's everywhere!

      GP commenter may have had a friend from Belarus, or seen it on a store shelf and been curious

      Nope. Born in the U.K. to British parents. Got around a bit over the years, but never lived in an eastern bloc state.
