it says october (referring to revolution)

and communal is one of the words, the other I cant make out in this photo, so this is early twenties 1920-1925

So its the Soviet equivilent of the old 19th Century British Jingo verse

"We don't want to fight, but by jingo if we do,
"We've got the guns we've got the ships, we've got the money too"

eugene · Field Marshal

my favorite quote is

"we are ready to fight for world peace till the last drop of blood"

eugene · Field Marshal

Roger, that link you gave me has a two part article on Russian armored tractors the first part deals with WWI, its very interesting I will translate it.

Ok folks, we have got to figure out what's going on here

...

It seems like almost every time someone attaches an image to their post, the image mysteriously moves to someone elses post!! That SPG picture is now attached to Eugenes last post.

This strange bug doesnt exactly hamper the forum that much, it's not like the attachments are vanishing or anything, it's just very curious.

It's exactly like I said it was in the Baffled thread. The attachment stays put until someone edits a subsequent post. It then gets attached to that post. If another post is edited later, the attachment doesn't move.

I think Roger had the best idea; if you've got an attachment, after posting edit your post. That might keep the attachment where it belongs.

Just tested the "Edit your own post" theory on Test Post. It doesn't work. Back to the drawing board...
