Have You Seen Soviet TV?

Thank the gods the Soviets didn't invent the Internet because it would have been crappy like everything they created, especially anything remotely called 'entertainment'. Name me ONE good Soviet era film you have seen. If you say Solaris I owe you a slap in the head.

This is the computer control room. OMG. I would kill everyone in that room in a day without a monitor to hide behind. HOW CAN YOU SEE WHAT YOU ARE TYPING? I hate Russian design. Soviet Futurism is NOT a thing.
