I mean, in this case, yes, but I am neither Russian nor a child of the USSR, and I know both Kvass and Kin-dza-dza (which I introduced to my wife, who was born in a post-soviet state). Not all that obscure!

Interesting. You must be from a CIS (ex-USSR) country then.

This is insane. What techniques are you using to animate it? A lot of people will pay for an AI which animates still 8-bit MJ generated pics.

This is years old. It’s definitely not being animated by AI.

Is it years old? One place has a bunch of drawers and the drawers are labelled Dall-e, MidJourney, and Stable Diffusion. That seems pretty recent to me.

TIL that I'm way out of the loop on a lot of pop culture. I maybe understood 1 reference in 20. Turns out that I'm most familiar with 1980s pop culture (that of my teenage years).

I’m kinda having the opposite experience - I don’t think of myself as someone who’s particularly well read on pop culture, but I’m actually recognizing most of this, even some real weird ones.

My headcanon is that this is from that time David Lynch defected to the Soviet Union with a briefcase full of film rolls from his ongoing Frank Herbert project. Дун was quite popular in theaters.
