Two men. One revolution. Zero survivors. Pixelated blood flows freely, and the partisans cheer – because nothing screams "historical awareness" louder than Lenin and Trotsky in Streetfighter format.
Player 1: Vladimir Ilyich Lenin, leader of the world proletariat, inventor of democratic centralism, and patron of the Red Terror. Player 2: Leon Trotsky, creator of the Red Army, theorist of permanent revolution, and future unemployed man with a serious ice pick problem. The background shows tanks, trains, cheering crowds—full-blown revolutionary kitsch, only this time with a health bar and combo counter.
What the game nevertheless depicts with astonishing accuracy is that, in the end, one of the two inevitably becomes an "enemy of the people." Not because of failure, but because the game's mechanics of Bolshevism dictate precisely that – loyalty is merely a temporary power-up. The revolution devours its own children, takes screenshots in the process, and posts them in the party newspaper. Stalin is already waiting in the next level.

More for you:
"Dravens Tales from the Crypt" has been enchanting for over 15 years with a tasteless mixture of humor, serious journalism - for current events and unbalanced reporting in the press politics - and zombies, garnished with lots of art, entertainment and punk rock. Draven has turned his hobby into a popular brand that cannot be classified.
My blog was never designed to spread news, let alone get political, but with current affairs I just can't help but capture information here that is otherwise censored on all other channels. I am aware that the design page may not seem "serious" to many in this regard, but I will not change this to please the "mainstream". Anyone who is open to non-state-compliant information sees the content and not the packaging. I've tried enough to provide people with information over the last 2 years, but quickly noticed that it never matters how it's "packaged", but what the other person's attitude towards it is. I don't want to put honey on anyone's mouth to meet expectations in any way, so I'll keep this design because hopefully at some point I'll be able to stop making these political statements, because it's not my goal to go on like this forever 
I leave it up to everyone how they deal with it. However, you are welcome to simply copy and distribute the content, my blog has always been under the WTFPL license.
