After Ilya Repin, 16th-Century Zaporozhye Cossacks Write a Mocking Letter to the Turkish Sultan, 1891
The poster is based on the "Dnieper Don Cossacks," a famous painting by Ilya Repin, the most famous Russian painter of the 19th century. The subject matter is based upon a historical incident, when the Cossack Hetman, or Chiefs, are writing a letter in reply to the Turkish Sultan who demanded that they serve him. The letter was filled with dirty curses, wrapped around a pig's ear, and sent to the Sultan. In the poster, the Cossacks are wearing gas masks, and the letter filled with curses is most likely being sent to Gorbachev in Moscow as an angry protest about the Chernobyl nuclear disaster, and about environmental pollution in general.

Irradiation--bombarding food with radiation equivalent to 10 million to 70 million chest X-rays to kill food contaminants Ņ remains controversial after 40 years of research. Irradiation supporters look at increased shelf life and reduced contaminants. Opponents claim vitamin losses and cancer-causing chemical changes. Opponents also argue that irradiation will take the emphasis away from cleaning up the food supply. There have been no studies conducted on the long-term health effects of eating irradiated food, and almost all research on toxicity was done before 1980 and did not use modern toxicological methods of research.
