[free-sklyarov] Slogan/Propaganda

[Victor Piterbarg]

I think the symbol is quite fitting. The way I interpret the symbol is that
Adobe is identified with the old Soviet Regime. The Soviet Regime is in turn
identified with opression. Therefore, Adobe + Hammer/Sickle = opressive
regime.

...unfortunately conflated in the mind of the American public.

The fact that Sklyarov is Russian confuses the message of this symbol
somewhat. It might be useful (although no longer timely) to come up
with a symbol of oppression that is not so loaded with Cold War
symbolism.

For example... uh... a boot?

My guess is that the horse is out of the barn on this one, though.
