Полученное Советский?

No one in the U.S. will understand what you mean, ultimately taking you for a communist trying to turn U.S. citizens into communists. Just trouble ahead. Or at least, no one will understand.

Thats why a faux cyrillic font would be recommended instead of just russian. i have no part in this, just translating. The us has moved on. we're not afraid of communism anymore.

Oh, Patrick, i think your location should be "stockholm, sweden + karelo-finnish ssr", just like your wehrmacht, since you have "sovietized" yourself. Nice uniform by the way. Is that a brezhnev ribbon bar?

I'd like to see what that looks like instead of the English on my bumper sticker.
TIA.

Eric, some things just don't translate. Even in English I'd be hard-pressed to explain what "Got Milk?" means. Do you have milk? Do you like milk? Are you holding a glass of milk? Are you drinking a glass of milk? I've got milk - you want some?

If you want some kind of Russian-American mutual understanding or link written in Russian, you could use "Back to the USSR" - the Beatles song. I don't have the cyrillic font and a native Russian speaker should verify, but I think it would be "Nazad v SSSR" See how some things just don't translate?

Thanks Paul. I was hoping you'd chime in.
I figured "got Soviet" would be a tough....what's it called, transliteration?
The General Secretary requested a Russian version so I thought I'd give it a try.
PS. got a request in to a German bud about Klessin.

Oh you guys don't know what some makeup, rouge and L'oreal can do to a man.

Sorry, but Karelo-Finnish SSR ceased to exist in 1956... The ribbon bar is Brezhnevish, yes.
