    I was able to get a perfect-condition set of Soviet Civil Defense posters from 1986 on eBay for a song a few weeks back. Trying to figure out which ones to frame in the office... hard choices!pic.twitter.com/kw8UlG8Ylu

        Nice Ukrainian guy on eBay? I ordered a set and after 3 months they didn't show up so i contacted the guy and he sent another. The original turned up so I send the second set back. They where in perfect condition.

        Wow, they are all great. I'd frame whichever you like best as a pure graphic.

        Gotta be the top left one with Mushroom cloud on the left. They are oddly beautiful.
