    This seems to be nostalgic for ‘soviet past’ and ‘great soviet russia’. A.k.a propaganda.

    Calendar is on 25th of October, date when October Revolution happened (old style calendar).

    This is a beginning of Red Terror. And then many years of other terrors USSR condemned throughout the years of its existence.

      I don’t see this as a celebration of the glorious revolution, it’s a bit more nuanced than that. There’s an obvious nod to the October Revolution, but there is also the inclusion of the Marshall amplifier and electric guitar; potent symbols of western culture. The mood seems deliberately ambiguous. Is she nostalgic for the past or is the calendar an unpleasant reminder of how things were?

      Yep. Also looks like Lenin is on the calendar. Funnily enough, it’s a British amp and a (probably) American guitar

      Your analysis is like someone looking at a Jackson Pollock painting and commenting that the artist is nostalgic for a period when slavery was legal. In other words complete bullshit.
