(how did this initiative not appear here already)
The students of Russian State University for the Humanities, joined by students of other universities, CPRF members (both regular people and deputies), historians and more, are agitating for renaming the Ivan Ilyin Higher Political School on the basis of Ilyin being a fascist.
Ilyin has been promoted as a “great Russian philosopher” by the state media, and is being defended by that same media, and Dugin, a well-known person with similar views and the director of the Ilyin School.
The poster is taken from the initiative’s Telegram channel, it reads “Comrades, a replacement! [we] Will not give Ilyich in exchange for Ilyin!”
wow that actually looks like a 20’s-30’s bolshevik poster goddamn that’s cool
A gorgeous poster, thank you for sharing this
edit: the longer I look at this the more that dark caricatures nose looks vaguely antisemitic, I have no idea why theyd draw him that that
I think it’s unfortunate, but I will give the benefit of the doubt. If more such posters come out with such nose, I’ll be suspicious.
The figure looks like it is inspired by vampires, perhaps it was taken from some vampire?
i think its referencing an element of our folklore, кощей бессмертный.
Totally forgot about him!
For other people - Koshchei is a folklore villain, who’s similar to liches.
also not dissimilar to ilyin.
I too wish Giant Lenin would review my pant seams.

anti-fascist stance that the Russian authorities have decided to take on
Looking at the state-owned media and movies - I think the stance is much more reactionary, both the real one and what’s being televised. Ilyin is used as a “great philosopher and a patriot and we should model the society after his writings” - this is part of propagated ideas, and “we are against fascists” is another part.
They probably can give up Ilyin and continue with these ideas anyway though. But they might choose not to.

I agree. I hope for the success of the initiative in agitating people. Before, I honestly didn’t think that there would be something strong enough to push people to be active.
Just one letter from basedness.
I am experiencing
can you point it out pls
The small letters at the end are ch/n - difference between Ilyich and Ilyin. Right now it’s Ilyin school so they need to change only that one letter to be based.Ah, thank you!
“Ah yes, nice shoes.”
